For the past four years, we’ve had the privilege of contributing to the seismic strengthening and refurbishment of the National War Memorial, a place of deep national significance and the focal point for remembrance in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our work has focused on helping ensure the Memorial can endure for future generations, while carefully respecting its heritage values. Strengthening the bell tower, introducing seismic resilience measures, and refurbishing the Carillon and Hall of Memories were all undertaken with minimal visible change, preserving the character and meaning of this important place.
As the Memorial reopens to the public this ANZAC Day, for the first time since 2020, we’re honoured to see it once again at the heart of the nation’s commemorations.
We gratefully acknowledge Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage, along with the contractors and consultants who contributed to this project, including Maycroft Construction, TSA Riley, Holmes, Barnes Beagley Doherr, and Silvester Clark.
We also acknowledge the ongoing support and involvement of Wellington City Council and Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.
