Niagara Timbers’ warehouse

The Project

Niagara Timbers’ new warehouse and office is a significant addition to the Hautapu industrial subdivision. The facility was built to support Niagara Timbers’ day-to-day operations, with space for both storage and administration.

Calder Stewart and Engenium led the delivery of the build. Together, the project team produced a practical, efficient facility that meets the client’s operational requirements.

Our Role

HD Geo provided geotechnical input from early investigation through to construction, including:

• Site Investigation

  • Carried out hand auger and CPT testing to characterise ground conditions and inform the foundation design.

• Geotechnical Assessment and Reporting

  • Assessed liquefaction potential, static settlement and bearing capacity for the proposed structure.

  • Prepared reporting to support the building consent application and detailed design.

• Subgrade and Backfill Testing

  • Tested subgrade and backfill materials to confirm they achieved the required bearing capacity, so the warehouse and office have a sound foundation.

• Project Team Collaboration

  • Kept in regular contact with the design and construction team so the foundation solution suited the building loads and how the building will be used.

  • Responded quickly to site queries, which helped keep design and construction moving.

The Results

The completed Niagara Timbers facility is now a standout building in the Hautapu subdivision. The project reflects HD Geo’s approach of smart solutions and no surprises.
