180 Tonne House Shift

2012 – Christchurch

BRIEF

This house suffered significant foundation damage from the September 2010 earthquake. Initial attempts to underpin and strengthen the existing foundation came to a stop when the quake of February 2011 struck.

It was decided that deep piling to nine meters was the best option. Smith Building Relocation was contracted to slide the building to one side whilst new foundations were installed, and to slide the building back.
