A roof tent has been fitted on the second apartment building at The Botanic Silverdale marking a significant milestone in the retirement village’s development.
The tent fixture follows a marathon 12-hour effort in which 150m3 of concrete was poured to complete the top floor of the three-story building.
“The pour began at 4am and it finished at around 4pm,” says Jeremy Quiding, the Senior Development Manager at The Botanic Silverdale.
Construction on the Rimu apartment complex began in September last year, the second apartment complex in the village, and should be completed in 12 months. The 4,590sqm building will house 32 apartments in three, two, and one-bedroom configurations as well as underground parking.
“The roof tent really is a milestone because it signals how far we’ve come, but it also allows us to push ahead and complete the build irrespective of whatever the weather throws at us as we head into the wetter month,” says Quiding.
It’s been a busy few weeks for MAKO, The Botanic’s build partner, who also staged a mock rescue operation from the large crane tower which is stationed alongside the Rimu apartments.
MAKO collaborated with a specialist team from Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) and a local Silverdale FENZ crew to simulate a rescue option to retrieve a crane operator who had suffered a medical event.
“Central to everything we do is safety, prevention, and preparedness but if an event occurs that is out of our hands, we need to know how to respond quickly and safely to minimise the risk to life for everyone on site. It’s part of our evolving Occupational, Safety and Health plan,” says Quiding.
Emergency responders worked at speed to access the cab of the crane, and then secure and lower the operator to the ground.
“Tower cranes, by their nature, present a unique set of risks to emergency response teams. The rescue plan had to consider a number of challenges including how to create a safe landing zone for the patient, what to do if the crane had a load suspended in the air, and how to quickly position fire appliances and ambulances below,” says Quiding.
“It was an eventful day, but it also reinforced The Botanic and MAKO’s shared commitment to creating a safety-first build environment.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What recent milestone was achieved in the construction of the Rimu Apartments at The Botanic Silverdale?
The Rimu Apartments reached a major milestone with the fitting of the roof tent, following a 12-hour concrete pour of 150m³ to complete the top floor. This roof tent marks an important step forward, enabling construction to continue smoothly through all weather conditions.
When is the Rimu Apartment complex expected to be completed, and what will it include?
Construction on the Rimu Apartments began in September last year and is expected to be completed within 12 months. The 4,590sqm building will feature 32 modern apartments available in one, two, and three-bedroom configurations and will include underground parking for residents’ convenience.
How does The Botanic ensure safety during construction projects like the Rimu Apartments?
Safety is a top priority at The Botanic. Recently, build partner MAKO collaborated with Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) to conduct a mock crane rescue operation. This drill helped train teams to respond swiftly and safely in emergencies, reinforcing The Botanic and MAKO’s ongoing commitment to a safety-first construction environment.
To anyone not in the know, it looked like a real-life medical emergency was unfolding at The Botanic Silverdale recently, but it was an important training exercise to prepare our construction team for an on-site emergency.
Our build partner, MAKO, collaborated with a specialist team from Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) and the local Silverdale FENZ crew to simulate a rescue option to retrieve a crane operator who had suffered a medical event.
“Central to everything we do is built around safety, prevention, and preparedness but if an event occurs that is out of our hands, we need to know how to respond quickly and safely to minimise the risk to life for everyone on site. This event was an extension of our existing Occupational, Safety and Heath work which we are constantly evolving and updating,” says Jeremy Quiding, the Development Manager at The Botanic Silverdale.
The biggest challenge? How could we quickly and safely help the crane operator in such a complex situation? It was an important drill for the 12 FENZ emergency responders who worked alongside our MAKO construction team throughout the day.
Tower cranes, just by their nature, present a unique set of risks to emergency response teams. The rescue plan had to consider a number of challenges including how to create a safe landing zone for the patient, what to do if the crane had a load suspended in the air, and how to quickly position fire appliances and ambulances below.
“These are unique challenges, and they are also site-specific. The Botanic Silverdale is an evolving development so it’s an ever-changing landscape and we have to be able to respond in that environment, irrespective of the complexity of an emergency,” says Quiding.
Some of the Nikau apartment residents had a bird’s eye view from their balconies as the event unfolded on the other side of the village.
It was an eventful day, but most importantly, it reinforced The Botanic and MAKO’s shared commitment to creating a safety-first build environment. Thank you to everyone who helped us to ensure that our people always come first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the recent emergency training exercise at The Botanic Silverdale about?
The Botanic Silverdale recently held a simulated emergency rescue exercise in collaboration with MAKO, Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ), and the local Silverdale FENZ crew. The training involved a mock scenario to safely retrieve a crane operator who had experienced a medical emergency. The exercise helped ensure that all teams are prepared to respond effectively to real-life situations on site.
Why was this emergency preparedness drill important?
According to Jeremy Quiding, Development Manager at The Botanic Silverdale, safety, prevention, and preparedness are central to everything the team does. The drill was designed to strengthen existing Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) protocols, ensuring that in the event of a real emergency, everyone on site can respond quickly and safely to minimise risks and protect lives.
How does The Botanic Silverdale maintain a safety-first environment during construction?
The Botanic Silverdale and its build partner MAKO are committed to maintaining a safety-first work environment through continuous training, updated safety procedures, and collaboration with emergency services. Regular preparedness exercises, such as the recent crane rescue simulation, ensure that the team remains ready for any situation, reinforcing their commitment to the wellbeing of everyone involved in the development.
