44 | SRS Group T T Kim Newth Bringing a practical, bespoke edge SRS offers complete catenary solutions to suspend luminaires in large areas, such as town centres, streetscapes, festivals, or commercial complexes REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT New Zealand’s first dedicated architectural rigging specialist, SRS Group, is making a big impact as a valued project partner working with architects, civil engineers and project managers up and down the country. Supported by an in-house fabrication department and strong industry partners, SRS Group provides a seamless architectural rigging and contract manufacturing service in the civil, commercial, and high-end residential markets. “Our clients work closely with our CAD design team to facilitate the structural design process in collaboration with Ronstan Tensile Architecture and Tensys to make sure the project is thoroughly detailed. Our expert in house riggers and fabricators can take care of the rest right through to supply and install. Having an amazing project management team keeping the client informed the whole way through, sets the standard.” says Luke Tempest, SRS Group’s Managing Director. “We have a really good client base. We’ve been operating since 2014 and last year was our best yet.” Carl Stahl X-Tend® which is custom manufactured in Germany, is a versatile stainless tensile mesh netting, sought after as a strong, durable safety screen solution. This highly transparent structural mesh is available in a natural stainless finish or in a range of colours and is ideal for architectural applications, such as barriers to protect against falls from walkways, bridges, and other spaces. “We have completed X-Tend® tensile mesh barrier installations on various Auckland pedestrian bridges over motorways as individual framed panels or continuous seamless mesh panels held in place by filigree cables. Both are visually attractive whilst functioning as robust anti-throw screens that prevent objects being thrown onto motorways. While suicide prevention is a taboo subject, there’s no doubt “Having an amazing project management team keeping the client informed the whole way through, sets the standard.” these screens are also contributing to a safer city environment in that respect too.” SRS Group’s ongoing collaborations with two of the world’s most respected names in Tensile Architecture, Australia’s Ronstan Tensile Architecture, and the German manufacturer of X-Tend®, Carl Stahl Architektur, ensures a level of quality made possible by their unparallelled technical competence and experience working with tensioned cables and mesh. “X-Tend® is the only tensile mesh in the world to have achieved the European Technical Assessment (ETA), a rigorous quality and certification standard. This mesh is the very best. We also team up with Ronstan on design and project management and have a unique working relationship with them. “Combining decades of experience and knowledge helps us to make sure the client has the best outcome for their projects.” Luke says the SRS Group has completed a wide variety of projects “These cases highlight the range of scope we can bring to your project, for example the acclaimed Tirohanga Whanui Bridge and Kirkbride Road Bridges in direct partnership with Ronstan, both unique in design and display distinctive visual flair and function using X-Tend®. Additionally, SRS was contracted for the design and build of the iconic Barrowcliffe Bridge Project direct to the client.” In 2020, SRS Group was handpicked to join an exclusive panel of design consultants for Auckland System Management (ASM). SRS Group has offered its design expertise on several bridge and transport projects across the wider Auckland area. “Another recent project that we’ve just completed in Auckland is Wynyard Wharf. Essentially, an old working wharf has been turned into public space for the first time in almost one hundred years. As Head Contractor we manufactured and installed all the stainless-steel balustrades and tensile mesh safety barriers complete with solid steel panels and timber cappings from PFS Engineering and Contrax Greenscapes respectively. It has been a very big project for us, which was completed on time and on budget, with thanks to strong connections to our well-established contractors and suppliers.” For architects or project managers planning large-scale lighting installations to create night-time magic and mood with light in open public spaces, SRS offers complete catenary solutions to suspend luminaires in large areas, such as town centres, streetscapes, festivals, or commercial complexes all over New Zealand. The newest one in Dunedin is due for completion mid 2024. SRS Group offers a full end-to-end custom service. In 2024, SRS is strategically well-positioned for further ongoing growth in the New Zealand market. 7 Mosgiel Branch (Head O ice) | 03 489 5760 Tauranga Branch | 027 808 2858 Auckland Branch | 09 820 3903 Christchurch Branch | 03 344 0264 Your One stop shop nationally offering: • Extrusions, both ex stock & indent • Sheet, plate & tread-plate • Fabrication including CNC router cutting, CNC break press along with Mig & Tig welding • CNC large capacity rollers PAYNES ALUMINIUM LTD SUPPLIES AND SUPPORTS SRS GROUP
