| 83 BUILDING Prospec Structures T Russell Fredric Prospec Structures has recently completed a 2500 square metre building for 3 Kings Cherries in Central Otago near Clyde. Bespoke building solutions From concept to completion, Prospec Structures are providing bespoke building solutions to a wide variety of clients throughout New Zealand. The family-owned operated company builds a diverse range of high quality steel structures that offer aesthetic style, durability and functionality. These include commercial, industrial, agricultural buildings and sheds as well as warehousing and distribution buildings, horticulture packing sheds, aviation hangars and equine arenas. Prospec is independently New Zealand owned but is closely allied to Melbourne-based company Entegra Signature Structures to form a dynamic Australasian brand. Director Nathan Stewart says Prospec is not only a construction company. “Prospec is based around a solution-based model rather than just building a shed. We are providing a one-stop-shop for high-end premium projects. “We can take a project further to add more value for the client. That’s where our niche is.” Prospec offers turn-key solutions which can include full fit-outs, such as for specialised large commercial and industrial operations with processing lines, including commissioning of the plant which eliminates time, stress and complexity for the client. “It involves us working with the right people and a very high level of project management and a high level of professionals that need to be included.” For seamless interior flow and perfect placement of plant and equipment, Prospec’s product range can be built up to 90 metres clear span. The company has recently completed a 2500 square metre building for 3 Kings Cherries in Central Otago near Clyde. For this project, Prospec was contracted to complete the building only, while the client coordinated the balance of the project including the fit-out of plant and equipment. The building includes processing and packaging areas, an inwards and outwards cool store, a commercial kitchen, a commercial laundry, showers and toilets for staff, an office and a board room. The office area is clad with cedar which nicely contrasts with the dark-toned vertical coloured steel around the balance of the building. “They wanted it to be up-market; to get people to work in a packhouse these days they need to have nice amenities so you’ve got to create that atmosphere.” Nathan believes 3 Kings Cherries is the only completely purposed-designed, purpose-built fruit packhouse with new equipment in Central Otago. The main structure comprises hot-rolled structural steel while the interior has PIR insulated metal clad panels which Prospec imported directly from Germany. A feature of the construction process was that the roof structure was built on the ground and lifted by cranes. Not only was this efficient, it was also a safety consideration as it eliminated the need for builders and subcontractors to work at height. Nathan has many positive comments, with one person related to a corporate horticulture business describing it as “extremely spectacular”. “There has been a lot of personal toil go into this especially with the lockdown it’s been a very difficult process so to get this end result and to have comments like that is extremely rewarding. “We are really pleased to have been able to deliver such a great landmark project for our client that not only looks good, but goes way above in performance.” P: 03 208 7977 M: 027 497 0012 W: www.carpentrysouth.co.nz NEW BUI LDS • RENOVAT IONS • COMMERCI AL • FARM BUI LDINGS P r o f e s s i o n a l s i n o u r f i e l d 4 Chardonnay St, Cromwell | 027 245 6472 | 03 445 1139 Specialising in ... • Electrical design & installations • Industrial Process & control • Electric motor controls installation & repairs • Electronic Innovations Your local award-winning PLUMBING & GAS SPECIALISTS May Plumbing & Gas offers absolute integrity and innovation in everything we do.
