Major Projects
Supreme Court Building - Wellington
Hailed as the largest piece of art ever commissioned in New Zealand, the 88,000kg bronze screen surrounding Wellington’s new Supreme Court building is the latest innovation from A&G Price.
Made of 99.9% New Zealand-sourced materials, the screen is designed to last 100 years – a lasting legacy provided by A&G Price.Comprising 17,000 individual cast components, 2,200 hand-crafted glass flowers and 9.5 kilometres of customised bronze section, the screen presented many challenges to the A&G Price team. Formed into 8 metre high panels, the screen was delivered within an extremely narrow window to coincide with the construction of the building. A&G Price employed the services of companies A W Fraser, who cast the bronze section; R H Freeman, who measured, cut, bent and dressed the 4500 individual lengths; and A&G Price, who assembled and welded the subsections.
Military Components
A&G Price has a long-standing arrangement with Singapore-based manufacturer Singapore Technologies Kinetics Ltd (STK) to supply high-tech military components for their articulated armoured personnel carriers. A&G Price designed and built an articulated hydraulic steering coupling, supplies sprocket carriers, idler wheels, and manufactures backing plates from high-grade ballistic steel.
A&G Price’s attention to detail has resulted in a Quality Award from the Singapore Government, and has ensured ongoing trading relationships with STK.
