Fraser Thomas was engaged by the Auckland Khmer Buddhist Association, to undertake the Civil, Geotechnical and Structural engineering design, Resource and Building Consent applications for the development of a new Vihara Temple complex at 455 Porchester Road, Takanini.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The construction phase of the project was split into 2 stages; stage one saw the development of the carpark and wastewater connection; stage two consisted of the construction of the Vihara Temple, and toilet block.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

From the genesis of the project Fraser Thomas were instrumental in the Temple being granted resource consents including stormwater discharge and land use consents through a hearing process. Critically for the ongoing sustained use and further development of the Temple, Fraser Thomas successfully negotiated a wastewater connection as the site is located outside of the Rural Urban Boundary.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The project included:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

  • Environmental Contaminated Site Assessment report.<\/li>
  • Stormwater detention and treatment design \u2013 including rain gardens.<\/li>
  • Wastewater management \u2013 connection of a private wastewater pumping station to the Watercare network.<\/li>
  • Reinforced concrete block walls and insitu concrete floor to securely display a 4 tonne stone Buddha statue that had been custom made in Cambodia to be housed in the Vihara Temple.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
