ENGCO was engaged to provide full structural analysis, design and documentation of the new luxury Mayfair Hotel on Victoria Street in Christchurch.

The five-storey building consists of precast concrete shear walls, with Comflor steel concrete composite floors spanning onto a grid of steel beams and columns, which are supported by a reinforced concrete raft foundation over deep ground improvement.

Development of the lateral load resisting system to minimise torsional building response – ENGCO carried out three-dimensional structural analysis of the building structure to investigate response to seismic loading.

Working with the ground improvement contractors and geotechnical engineers to co-ordinate soil stiffness properties into the building 3D analysis and provide building foundation pressures to refine the ground improvement design.

The success of this project hinged on early-structural design engagement ensuring an efficient design while maintaining the function of the hotel form.
