- Contractor safety inside the cordon
- dc.description
- CERA took over the management of Christchurch's central city cordon two months after the February 2011 earthquake. During its peak the cordon area represented the largest construction site in the southern hemisphere. This constantly changing, high-risk environment required strict health and safety processes including regular, compulsory contractors meetings and the enforcement of stringent cordon rules. The low number of health and safety incidents over the cordon's lifespan has been directly attributed to these sustained and thorough processes.

- Cordon access: An overview
- dc.description
- Following the February 2011 earthquake, a cordon closed off most of Christchurch's central city. A monitored pass system was implemented by CERA to provide limited, safe access to business owners, tenants and residents. The cordon was regulated by the New Zealand Defence Force with support from the New Zealand Police. As dangerous buildings were demolished or made safe, and aftershocks decreased, controlled access was allowed for the general public. This was considered to be an important step in the city's psycho-social recovery.

- The Value of Lifeline Seismic Risk Mitigation in Christchurch
- dc.description
- This report is about the substantial range of risk reduction and readiness steps taken by lifeline utilities in Christchurch over recent years to reduce the impact of earthquakes. The work leading to the report of the Christchurch Engineering Lifelines Group in the 1990s, Risks and Realities, is the foundation for many of the measures adopted. Seismic mitigation undertaken by Christchurch lifelines since Risks and Realities has served Christchurch well in reducing losses and facilitating emergency responses and recovery.

- Challenging demolitions: The Hotel Grand Chancellor
- dc.description
- Christchurch's 26-storey Hotel Grand Chancellor was badly damaged in the earthquake of 22 February 2011. The building was on a visible lean and fears that the building would collapse at first hampered Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) work in the area. USAR teams worked quickly to stabilise the Grand Chancellor in the first instance and it needed further stabilisation before it was deconstructed. Later, Fletcher Construction carried out the deconstruction over 11 months under the supervision of CERA's Significant Buildings Unit.
