How Intergroup and McIntosh Commercial Construction delivered a fast, safe, and compliant structural upgrade in Christchurch, New Zealand — powered by Aquajet technology.
The Merivale Mall redevelopment in Christchurch demanded precision, safety, and environmental care. Following ongoing seismic strengthening work, the mall’s aging foundation slabs required partial demolition and reconstruction — all while minimizing vibration, dust, and disruption to nearby businesses.
To meet this challenge, McIntosh Commercial Construction Ltd partnered with Intergroup, New Zealand’s leading provider of infrastructure and industrial services, to execute a multi-stage hydrodemolition project powered by Aquajet’s Aqua Cutter 710V robotic system.

| Stages: | 3 (completed ahead of schedule). |
| Outcome: | Safe, compliant, efficient concrete removal. |
| Equipment: | Aqua Cutter 710V. |
