Palmerston North Project Experience

Our Palmerston North office has been involved in several key projects across the region, showcasing our capability to deliver high-quality, comprehensive engineering solutions:

• Palmerston North Seismic Strengthening: LDE provided engineering expertise for the seismic strengthening of a major commercial building in Palmerston North. This project focused on enhancing the structural resilience of the building, ensuring that it meets current earthquake safety standards. Our work has helped improve safety for the occupants and supported the continued use of important commercial infrastructure in the city.
• Detailed Seismic Assessment – Whanganui: Our team carried out a detailed seismic assessment of a significant heritage building in nearby Whanganui. The findings from our assessment enabled informed decision-making for the preservation and strengthening of the building, contributing to the safety and cultural heritage of the region. This project underscores our capability in conducting detailed assessments for seismic resilience across the wider Manawatū-Whanganui area.
• Central Wind Farm Investigations: LDE played an integral role in the geotechnical investigations for the Central Wind Farm, a renewable energy project that supports the region’s clean energy goals. Our assessments ensured stable foundations for the turbines, helping the project contribute to the regional and national renewable energy targets. This project demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and our expertise in supporting renewable energy initiatives.
• PSI and DSI Services: We provided Preliminary Site Investigations (PSI) and Detailed Site Investigations (DSI) for multiple development projects across Palmerston North. These investigations were essential for understanding site conditions, supporting safe construction practices, and ensuring environmental compliance. Our work has helped developers make informed decisions about land use, ensuring safety and sustainability for future developments.
