CPB Contractors worked with Ōtākaro Limited to design and construct the Te Pae Christchurch Convention and Exhibition Centre (CCEC) in New Zealand.
We committed to delivering this project as part of the rebuilding of Christchurch. The project delivered a vibrant and world-class piece of infrastructure, supporting sustained economic and cultural benefits for the Christchurch community.
There was emphasis on opportunity-creation for local businesses, a socially inclusive procurement strategy to broaden community benefits, and enhanced local workforce capabilities to the benefit of industry.
The Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre can host up to 2,000 delegates for a variety of national and international events.
The Project’s scope of work included:
- delivery of a 1,400-delegate auditorium, 3,300m2 exhibition hall and 24 meeting rooms
- building associated food, beverage and retail amenities.
The CCEC has been built to meet sustainability efficiencies and New Zealand Green Building Council 5 Star Green Star Rating requirements. Features of the building include:
- a high-efficiency façade with low shading, co-efficient glazing and double-glazed windows
- use of 85% renewable energy with the remaining 15% offset
- systems to weigh, track and report all waste and recycling streams
- automatic lighting controls to complement natural light levels
- above code insulation to reduce energy consumption and noise transfer
- 100% LED lighting throughout all spaces, with occupancy sensors
- metering of utilities through the Building Management System with reporting to identify areas for improvement for year-on-year reductions
- food waste processing by an onsite dehydrator system into a compost-style material for donation to local market gardens and schools.
CPB Contractors acknowledged the Ngāi Tahu people of the Maori Iwi as the traditional and continuing custodians of the lands on which the Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre was delivered.
