Pinesong is a 5-storey residential retirement building where Miyamoto New Zealand was engaged to review and optimise a previously proposed strengthening scheme.
Through advanced non-linear time history analysis, our team was able to demonstrate the building’s inherent strength, particularly the ductile reinforcement within the floors. This allowed the scope of works to be refined, focusing on select, non-structural elements such as cladding panels and stairs.
The result was a highly efficient strengthening solution that minimised disruption, reduced costs, and provided confidence in the building’s long-term resilience — while avoiding unnecessary demolition and preserving a valued retirement community.
