ANZ Triangle
Project description
The three-storey ANZ Centre was constructed on a high-profile site bordering Colombo, Cashel and High Streets in the heart of Christchurch’s Central Business District.
It is a versatile structure, which accommodates business, banking and retail outlets, and was designed to withstand strong earthquakes.
The building itself is an important landmark project, and it serves as a case study site for engineers who are interested in the different engineering solutions of seismic isolation.
mageba scope
In order to decoupling the supported structure of the ANZ Centre from the ground mageba designed and produced in total 53 RESTON-PENDULUM DUPLO seismic isolator bearings.
Six of these isolators were tested according to EN15129. In addition, all products used in this project underwent two separate testing processes before installation – a Factory Production Control (FPC) and an Initial Type Testing Presentation (ITT).
