Mainmark has won International Project of the Year Award at the 2016 Ground Engineering Awards for its Christchurch Art Gallery project in New Zealand. The project saw Mainmark re-support and re-level the 33,000 tonne gallery in just 52 days, rectifying foundation damage caused by the 2010 and 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes.
