Tauranga Crossing Stage 1 & 2
Location
Sector
Fabworx was engaged to supply and install the site-specific diagrid ceiling extrusion, a defining architectural feature of Tauranga Crossing.
The work required careful coordination with in-ceiling services, custom extrusions, and collaboration with electrical and fire trades to ensure seamless installation while maintaining design intent.

Diagrid
ceiling design
The ceiling extrusion, forming diagonal lines throughout the main mall, creates large visual breaks in the ceiling diaphragm, giving the interior a striking architectural identity.
Complex coordination
Fabworx managed installation around floor voids and other height risks, pre-drilled for in-ceiling services, and coordinated with trades to maintain safety, speed up the project, and avoid clashes.

Challenges
Access at height, tight timeframes, and the need to resolve additional design issues, which included fall barriers, handrails, escalator interfaces and shop fit-outs, added complexity to the project.
The Solution
By understanding the design constraints and applying practical, tailored solutions, Fabworx delivered the diagrid ceiling and associated metalwork with precision and efficiency. Our team resolved secondary challenges on the fly, ensuring a smooth build process.
Project Highlights
- Unique, custom extrusion developed specifically for Tauranga Crossing
- Coordinated complex in-ceiling service requirements
- Completed on time and to exacting architectural standards
- Award-winning project (NZIA Architecture Award 2020)
