Ōpuke Thermal Pools & Spa, Methven banner

Ōpuke Thermal Pools and Spa is a new wellness destination in the rapidly regenerating town of Methven below the slopes of Mt Hutt. 

The project features an impressive large-span two-way exposed LVL roof structure, extensive precast feature walls and bespoke features that make the building a stunning architectural feature amongst the hot pools. 

The pools are fed by the mountains, and powered by solar panels on site. In addition to a world-class spa and wellness centre, the facility includes both adult only tranquility pools, complete with magic views, a swim up bar, family friendly discovery pools with a crazy river, plunge jump pool, and star lit caves.

Ruamoko Solutions is an award-winning specialist New Zealand based consulting structural engineering firm.

At Ruamoko Solutions, we take structure seriously. It is our passion, and our speciality, and we have developed a reputation for innovative solutions which is reflected in the numerous industry awards we have received. 

Our specialised interest in earthquake engineering and strong ties to cutting-edge research has placed us in a prominent position following the recent Canterbury Earthquakes. We have led the way in pioneering seismic design for the Christchurch rebuild including the first post-earthquake use of base-isolation, PRESSS and other damage avoidance technology, such as the world’s first bolted-link EBF seismic frames.

We understand the team environment and enjoy working as part of a team with architects, owners, developers, consultants and contractors to develop the best all-round solutions for building projects.

Exceptional results | Exceptional projects | Exceptional thinking | Exceptional people
