Teenaa koutou and welcome to the Haratua - May 2023 edition of Waikato Regional Theatre Construction Update.
April had a very similar feel to March, with excavation work continuing, the ongoing installation of steel reinforcing and the pouring of concrete.
Of note, the erection of structural steel on the Sapper Moore Jones-Victoria Street corner has become more visible, the first external sign of the rebuilding of the heritage Hamilton Hotel.
Progress on site
Highlights from April.
The continuation and installation of:
excavation activities

a large amount of reinforcing steel
foundation slabs.
Significant events coming up
The following progress is expected to occur in May:
first stages of the installation of the composite floor
