Seismic Solutions Limited

At the Petone Settlers Museum, even the light standards are a piece of history. Tasked with restoring these corroded reinforced concrete icons, we faced a unique challenge: how to make them structurally safe for the future without altering their cherished character?

Our solution required a blend of critical thinking and respect for the past. In close collaboration with Duncan Commercial Construction, we engineered a clever, non-intrusive fix. We replicated the intricate historic details using lightweight concrete panels finished with a matching plaster system fixed to a new, robust steel core anchored into reinforced concrete foundations.

The best part? The work was completed efficiently without requiring the museum to close. This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering simple, practical, and structurally sound solutions for projects of all sizes.

We are delighted to see work underway on Wunderbar passive house designed by Seismic Solutions Limited.

We hit a milestone in our building journey! 🥳

Today we had our traditional "Spatenstich" (ground-breaking ceremony). Nevermind the sandals 😆

Our constructors are passive house specialist Izodom New Zealand, building for passive house certification and Homestar 8 or above. Keeping wastage to the minimum is one of the many sustainability goals.

We look very much forward to driving up week by week to see the progress of our beautiful home. 🏎
