BG&E is providing construction engineering and temporary works services for the $683 million project, including design review of temporary propping, lifting lug assessment, truss construction jigs, temporary stability of roof trusses, and access platforms.

The Te Kaha Stadium is a state-of-the-art addition to Christchurch, set to accommodate 30,000 for sports and 36,000 for music events. The stadium promises to invigorate the city centre, spur development, and reestablish Christchurch as a sports and cultural hub – drawing visitors from around New Zealand and the world.

With the project set to span from 2023 to 2025, the design review for Christchurch Stadium presents challenges involving coordination with overseas designers and a Mandarin-speaking team and addressing the designer’s unfamiliarity with local codes. Effective management of critical factors such as logistics, crane availability, and tight project timeframes and time constraints is essential.

Our technical team will apply their robust earthquake engineering knowledge, 3D FEM modelling skillset, expertise in legislative requirements and local design codes, and multilingual capacity to ensure the project’s success.
