Foley Plumbing is proud to have worked on the Forsyth Barr Stadium. As the South Island's largest plumbing firm we had the expertise and workforce to meet the demands of the job.

Forsyth Barr Stadium is the world’s only permanently covered stadium to boast a natural turf playing field, designed by leading architects and incorporating a space-age transparent roof. The natural grass turf under the permanent roof is not only a world first, but part of an eco-friendly irrigation system that keeps the grass green.

Wall Street Complex

Client: Dunedin City Council
Architect:
Contract Manager: John Mears
Site Foreman: Jye Muschamp

The Wall Street complex comprises three buildings linked together at its heart - a large central atrium allowing natural light to filter through, which resembles an open palazzo. This architectural design links Dunedin streets and neighbouring malls, allowing shoppers to shelter from Dunedin's sometimes variable weather. This open glass, steel and stone space creates the ultimate atmosphere for shopping, dining, and socialising.
