Completion
The Westfield Riccarton Carpark is a five-level structure designed to accommodate 1,000 vehicles, delivered as a design-and-build project with a focus on structural performance and construction efficiency. DHC developed the structural design using ductile Eccentrically Braced Frames(EBFs), providing enhanced seismic resilience and contributing to the building’s minimal damage during the Christchurch earthquakes.
The DHC design process was highly collaborative, allowing the team to refine the structural solution and deliver exceptional construction savings. DHC's expertise assisted Clearwater in ensuring that the Westfield Riccarton Carpark was completed on time while achieving over half a million dollars in savings. The result is a seismically resilient structure tailored to the demands of a high-traffic retail precinct.
