Requirement:
Protect existing and new function centre
Challenges:
• This historic and popular tavern is positioned at the top of a large riverbank
• The riverbank rises several meters above the river below
• A substantial slip threatened the opening of the new function centre
Challenges met:
• Respected and established working relationship with Auckland council
• EDC responded with a solid, tied-back timber wall design within 24hrs
• Access was achieved from above rather than from the river
Summary:
Although access and time frames proved challenging, construction of the retraining wall, like the Tavern’s first function, went smoothly and without hitch.
