Countdown Takanini

Dodd Civil provided both the civil and structural design and supervision for the redevelopment of the existing Countdown supermarket at Takanini. This involved the renovation and extension of the existing supermarket and construction of separate new structures for retail tenancy.

THE PROJECT

Existing structure was analysed and strengthened with bracing and new structural elements to comply with current seismic code requirements
The front of the building comprised a special canopy and structural framing to receive architectural glazing
Other walls were designed with pre-cast concrete panels to meet fire code requirements
Design of retaining walls up to 2.5m high
The retail tenancy comprised approximately 3,000m2 with steel portals with canopies and elevated roof structures
Rear walls were designed with pre-cast concrete panels and front elevation with architectural cladding and glazing
The civil design included design of stromwater system with overland flow paths to cover a 100-year event and design of wastewater system for public and private
Design of pavements, car parks and loading area

CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS

Because the site had a deep layer of weak compressible peat beneath it, we needed to design special pile foundations. All column foundations were supported on screw piles.

Return to Projects

All work was carried out professionally and at the standards expected by ourselves. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for future project such as this or other civil projects.
