Orams Marine Facility, Auckland, NZ

For every glamorous activity, there is some hard work behind the scenes – something that makes everything work seamlessly and look easy. This is the case with the new Orams Marine Facility in Auckland.

This huge new marine workshop is being constructed to provide increased maintenance facilities for Auckland’s ferries, fishing vessels and commercial vessels – and the occasional superyacht. It’s a large project, even involving a 110-tonne travelator to move the boats around. It’s due to be handed over on the first week of March 2023.

Why OrbiPlate™ was chosen

Main contractor of the project, MacRennie Construction, chose 20mm OrbiPlate connectors to connect the steel to the precast panels. Working with steel fabricator, Culham Engineering, and precast fabricator ConcreTec NZ, the OrbiPlate connectors were essential to the efficiency of the build.

“We piled first, then we added footings, structural steel, then precast,” explains site manager Tony Watson of MacRennie Construction. “And our services are going on now.”

MacRennie Construction discussed the precast panel installation process with Luke Price, the design engineer from Strata Group Consulting Engineers Ltd, because they wanted the maximum tolerance, they could get at the connection point of the structural steel and precast panels.

Price recommended OrbiPlate connectors, which are made of high tensile steel. The OrbiPlate system delivers 360 degrees connection tolerances of up to 20mm in structural connections. Quick and easy to install, it delivers fine locational accuracy when positioning steel members.

The OrbiPlate system streamlined the install process, reducing crane time and potential delays caused by misaligned connection points having to be remediated onsite while large panels were hanging on a crane.

This was the first time that MacRennie used the OrbiPlate system and after installing over #1000 units of them on this project, Watson said they were happy with the product and felt it was a good system.

“It was really effective,” he says. “Once the precasts were made, it was pretty straightforward.”

ReidBrace™ in action

MacRennie also used Ramset’s ReidBrace on the project, which is one of their favourite and most-used Ramset™ products. ReidBrace is an off-the-shelf system that provides design engineers and constructors with an economic solution for tension bracing of structures, tie-back applications and temporary works bracing.

“We use this product on 99% of our jobs and don’t have any issues with it,” says Watson. https://ramset.co.nz/orams-marine-facility-auckland-nz/

About Me

I'm Arcim -- pronounced Ar-ts-eem :) M16

Media I'm currently into includes Fallout New Vegas, The Man From Uncle (1964), Metro 2033 (so far I've only read the first book but I plan on playing the game & last light). 

I'm currently playing Wasteland 3, and the Metro video game (but I haven't touched it in awhile because I am utterly pathetic at FPSes on the Switch).

Other interests of mine include phonology/linguistics, vexillology, cartography, crunchy gifs, old Eastern Bloc stuff, hockey (even though I am terrified of the hockey tag on Tumblr), and hats. Also, I play the cello.

I've been considering making a Neocities site for awhile but I'd have to really brush up my html skills.

[Favorites of all time:

Book - Wings by Mikhail Kuzmin

Book Series - JJBA Part 7, Steel Ball Run

Game - Fallout New Vegas

Show - Pat & Mat. Yeah it's technically a kids show but it's also timeless and brings me endless joy. I never understood comfort media until I began watching Pat & Mat in high school.]

Find me on ArtFight! [https://artfight.net/~concretecity] I've never been big on OCs but it seems like a fun drawing exercise so I plan on participating this year. I haven't posted anything there yet but I'll get to it... one day.

@concretecity​ (1) Not your Bruh, fuckwad (2) Yeah, it’s a pun on Dyatlov Pass and “passing privilege”. you may struggle to piece this together but that is actually a reference to Passing (you fucking dumbass)

wait dyatlov is cis? with THAT url? i thought he was trans for the longest time cause of the url. makes his rancid behavior make a lot more sense tho

he seemed to specifically revel in getting transphobic anons from people who assumed he was trans (presumably in large part because of the url). guess it was a Funney Bit for him

(found old reblogs here and here)

there are other uses of “passing”, but I doubt his url was meant to be in reference to “white passing” (iirc he was white, though I could be wrong)

given the phrasing of “passing privilege” specifically, and his recurring Bit of turning transphobic anons into Humor for himself as a cis funneyblogger, it's very hard to not see the URL as an attempt to make some people mistakenly think he's trans to farm them for funneyposts (and for whatever other additional reasons)
