New roof for The Trusts Arena
Work on The Trusts Arena roof will begin in late July
and is expected to last for 12 months, but
shouldn’t
cause any disruption to events or users of the
Arena.
Routine maintenance work uncovered some issues with
weather tightness and sparked a full-scale
review of the
roof and its cladding. The Trusts Arena CEO Mark Gosling
says the investigation
revealed a number of issues with
the roof which will be addressed with the renovation
work.
“We will be replacing the curved aluminium panels
with a new design and also addressing issues
around
guttering and drainage.”
The project was put out to
tender and Canam Construction will lead the $3.7 million
project.
“We are working with Canam to ensure any
disruption is kept to a minimum and aside from a
small
reduction in the number of carparks available to
the public during the project, it should be business
as
usual.
“The Trusts Arena is grateful to the three
principal funding partners – Regional Facilities
Auckland,
Foundation North and TTCF – for their
support.”
The Trusts Arena building was designed by
Warren and Mahoney and built by Canam Construction
in
2004.
