400+ Units, 6 months build time, 3000 SQ meters
In 2018, CH Engineering Ltd was approached to do a refit for a Guardian Storage facility, which was successfully completed. It was a single-level storage facility which was refitted to a double-story.
We took what we learnt from this project to build a brand-new storage facility in Hamilton North, which CH Engineering Ltd built from the ground up. 2020 was, of course, a challenging year, which has been felt by all, but we persevered to complete this project to a high standard. CH Engineering Ltd managed the entire build and was able to provide the speed and efficiency that steel framing is known for.
There are three back-to-back banks of storage units against the boundary, with firewalls, internal partitioning, and a double-story bank. Additionally, there are back-to-back units in the middle of the site. CH Engineering Ltd are very proud of this project as it highlights all the aspects of what we do. The project has offered its own unique challenges as we maximised the site space with as many storage units as possible.
Building a large structure within a confined space has meant that the construction methodology had to allow for as much off-site work as possible to minimise onsite activity. This is where steel framing assembled at our factory comes in handy. Once delivered to the site, the frames were stood up on the concrete pads ready for the next phase. Ultimately, the project's success relied on the strong collaboration between the project managers and contractors, whose teamwork was integral to delivering this great building for the client.
