ENGCO have been engaged to provide comprehensive structural engineering services for Arvida’s Queenstown Country Club Care & Dementia Units and Apartments.

The development consists of two main structures, the first being an apartment building and the second purposed as a dementia care facility. The buildings are approximately 90m long, three-storeys tall and of mass timber construction.

Following on from the success of the Arvida Park Lane development, the focus of the structural design was achieving a low carbon footprint through extensive use of cross laminated timber (CLT) panels. These CLT panels were utilised for the structural floor, wall, stair and lift shaft panels across the three levels of the two buildings.

Leading edge mass timber and sustainable design.

Sustainability – the large quantities of CLT used in these two structures results in an estimated potential biogenic (stored) carbon of 1,450,000 kg CO2eq. This stored carbon plays a crucial role in partially offsetting the embodied carbon of the overall construction.
