Te Kura Māori o Porirua

Starting on site at Te Kura Māori o Porirua on their hall structural strengthening and interior refurbishment works was a great way to kick off the new year in January 2024.

The structural strengthening involved new concrete footings and the erection of steel columns and beams to form portals, installation of a 12mm structural ply diaphragm and steel angles.

The interior works included new Gib ceilings and acoustic ceiling tiles over the structural ply diaphragm, new toilets, universal bathroom and hall foyer. As with many school projects, this involved the removal of asbestos before any other construction work could be undertaken.

The entirety of the works involved working in close proximity to operational teaching buildings and being sensitive to the school environment, which is at the forefront of our scheduling and day to day operations.
