Engineering New Zealand is collaborating with MBIE to find ways to incorporate the outputs of the National Seismic Hazard Model’s 2022 update into the building regulatory system. The results of this collaboration have been used to inform the content of a draft Technical Specification TS 1170.5.
Engineering New Zealand hosted webinars on Tuesday 27 and Thursday 29 February, designed to help viewers engage during the public comment period. Presenters included members of the Seismic Risk Working Group and the Standards New Zealand TS 1170.5 Committee. A recording of each webinar and copies of the individual presentations are available here for further reference.
Standards New Zealand has provided both the draft TS 1170.5 for consultation and commentary on the draft.
