Bishopdale Subdivision

01/01/1970 - 01/01/1970

Sally has been working on the Bishopdale Subdivision in Nelson since 2015, responsible for over 70 new sections so far, and counting. Geotechnical issues to be managed, worked around, mitigated and resolved include steep slopes, faults, historic filling and movement of vast quantities of cut and fill, with up to 15m of cut and 20 m of fill in places. The resultant sections are all readily developable, most with great views!

Landslip Protection

24/08/2022 - 30/05/2024

The property was damaged by a landslip originating from higher up the slope during the August 2022 storm event in Nelson. Tricky access meant the contractor had to develop different strategies for building the debris protection barrier needed.

Commercial buildings below steep slope

02/02/2020 - 02/02/2022

These commercial buildings were to be located below a steep slope. To reduce the likelihood of damaging the buildings in a future landslip, a debris wall was built at the bottom of the slope and behind the buildings.

Landslip Repairs - Tahunanui Slump

01/01/1970 - 01/01/1970

Repairing damage on the active Tahunanui Slump is always challenging. The house had been both shunted forward from movement behind, as well as losing support off to the side as land slid down into an adjacent gully. Working with Vector Structural Engineers, we helped develop a solution involving drains, deep anchored foundations, disconnecting then reconnecting the piles and installing a new staircase access to the deck, which floats above, rather than sits on, the ground below.
