| 5 Populous: One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha The project team has also addressed the unique challenge of designing for Christchurch’s seismic conditions, incorporating earthquake-mitigating technologies. “It will change the way sport and entertainment is seen in New Zealand, and perhaps attract bigger events to the country.” REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT “A covered venue near an international airport is major, especially for large concert acts, which prefer venues that are easy to get in and out of. It will be a consistent and easy-to-service venue. It will be a huge plus for the city with locals and businesses set to really benefit,” explains Andrew. This multi-use arena will also offer function rooms for conferences, banquets and potentially weddings, along with leasable spaces on the ground floor for future tenancies. When completed, Andrew says the venue promises to deliver an unparalleled guest experience with quality acoustics, industry-leading seat comfort and views of the field from the level 1 concourse, all under the protection of its innovative roof. “As construction progresses towards the 2026 opening, Christchurch residents can look forward to a venue that not only showcases world-class events, but also serves as a versatile community asset for generations to come.” • Earthmoving • Siteworks • Demolition • Subdivision Development • Lifestyle Block Development • Underground Infrastructure • Roading • Driveways Proud to support Populous on the Te Kaha Stadium Project Mobile: 021 386 794 Phone: 03 325 7266 Email: corran@faulks.co.nz www.faulks.co.nz www.lewisbradford.com Lewis Bradford is proud to be providing structural engineering expertise for this significant project.
