Burnside High School Project Job # 15575 Location: Christchurch, New Zealand Time: June 2023 – June 2024 To collaborate with Naylor Love on the Burnside High School New Block 1 Main Construction project, Taurus provided and installed metal handrails and balustrades for the new building. Summary of works: External balustrade with aluminium powder-coated panels, stanchions, and top rail – 144 metres supplied and installed. Internal balustrade and handrails at stair 3 with aluminium powder-coated panels, fixed to balustrade frames. Balustrades and handrails for external stairs 1 and 2 with aluminium panels fixed to balustrade frames. The site was located within Burnside High School, leading to a narrow compound where access proved a limited resource, especially around the exterior of the building. Taurus worked closely with other trades to share access and ensure a safe work environment while performing dangerous tasks, including lifting steel frames, grinding, and welding. Due to the tight tolerances required by the aluminium panels, this project provided a challenge to Taurus. However, with all departments coordinating together, Taurus found solutions and persevered to the end. Our team worked diligently to meet the project’s requirements and maintain safety standards throughout the process.
