Justice & Emergency Services Precinct
Innovation from disaster
After the devastating Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011, the new Justice & Emergency Services Precinct provides a much needed integrated and secure response and operations hub for the Ministry of Civil Defence, Fire & Emergency Service, St. John Ambulance, Police, Ministry of Justice and Department of Corrections.
The 40,000m² precinct houses 19 courtrooms and spans four, four-storey towers with a total project cost of $300 million. The complex is designed to accommodate 1,000 workers and 1,000 visitors daily.
Buildings are supported on a common base isolated podium structure which is designed to mitigate structural and non-structural damage following a major earthquake to ensure continued functionality of the facility.

A mammoth undertaking

The project highlight for TacPro™ must be the indigenous tribal pattern of Tactile Indicators we installed at the top and bottom of each main entry staircase.
The Tactile installations adopt traditional Ngai Tahu patterns, which represent the goal of wider community involvement, growth, and togetherness.
