2014 – Wallace Building Contractors was contracted by Hawkins to undertake the concrete and reinforcing to the seismic upgrade of Colonial House in Lower Hutt. New 300m3 foundation pads are being formed to replace the existing foundations with new steel K-Frames between the existing insitu concrete columns. 450mm deep Insitu concrete collector beams were installed throughout the upper levels of the building with H40 reinforcing bars to tie it all together.
