| 23 GEK Property - Britkin Construction +64 6 876 7646 | 308 Queen Street East, Hastings | admin@sgl.nz www.stratagroup.net.nz Strata Group is proud to have played a key role in delivering the GEK Irongate Coolstore facility built by Britkin Construction. Multi-disciplinary irm Strata Group Consulting Engineers specialises in Industrial, Commercial, Seismic and Civil engineering. Working out of Hawkes Bay with a leadership team that bring a wealth of experience in design and project management they provide end-to-end solutions and have delivered over $2billion worth of projects to clients from Northland to Invercargill. In the Waikato it’s likely to be a temperature controlled Coldstore facility for the meat or dairy industry, or a coolstore for fresh produce; in Auckland they drove the civil and structural design behind the Southern Hemisphere’s most comprehensive superyacht facility; in Southland they provided critical re-strengthening services for several re-purposed industrial buildings. Whoever the client is there’s a good chance they’ve worked with them before. Over 80% of Strata Group projects come from long term repeat clients and the Rockit Global packing facility they recently worked on in Hastings’ Irongate Industrial Zone is no exception. Chartered Professional Structural Engineer Duncan Bruce is Strata’s Managing Director. He specialises in major infrastructure and industrial facilities and his relationship with Rockit Global goes back to when Strata Group designed Rockit’s Global Headquarters directly for them several years ago. Strata Group has also enjoyed a great relationship with GEK Property for nearly ten years and has worked closely over many years with both Britkin Construction and the Kinnear family. “I’ve been with Strata Group for 20 years and we’ve done multiple projects going back more than 30 years with both Richard and his father Gordon,” says Duncan. Strata Group knows that Europe is way ahead of New Zealand when it comes to the sort of technology Rockit Global needs for its post-harvest requirements and together with Britkin Construction they have a deep understanding of the horticulture industry and what’s required to build the sort of world-class facilities that can successfully store fruit to be delivered fresh around the world throughout the year. “We’re working with designs that we’ve built up over our working relationship, that we know how to put together and that we know really work, making it cost e ective while using the state-of-the-art technology you need in world-class facilities.” Rockit Global agrees. They’ve described the new facilities as “a world-class, it-for purpose addition to their post-harvest ecosystem.” With 400 years of combined expertise Strata Group tailor world-class solutions to each client’s needs, delivering projects built on strong partnerships, clear communication and their trademark commitment to quality.
