Ernest Rutherford Ceiling Void Surveys 7 April -12 May.

Facilities Management (FM) contracted Surveyors will be undertaking a scoping exercise and compliance specific survey on a total of 44 non-teaching or lab spaces within Ernest Rutherford (SC24) for approximately six (6) weeks between 7 April and 12 May.

Surveyors will be working between 8am and 4.30pm daily to complete a full visual assessment of the condition of the ceiling voids and assess the ability to install braided pipe to the chilled beam system.

Photographs will be taken during the assessment to maintain a visual record of the condition of the roof void at that time and surveyors will ensure that persons are not identifiable in the photographs.

Please support Surveyors as they work through this programme of work by ensuring that spaces are tidy and open for inspection allowing access to the roof voids as required.

 Please direct any enquiries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz

 Thank you for your consideration as we undertake these required compliance specific building surveys.

Cabling for Swipe Card Installations Ernest Rutherford 7 – 11 April

Facilities Management Contractors will be working in the corridors on level 1 of the Ernest Rutherford building between 7am Monday 7 April until 4.30pm Friday 11 April to run cabling for the installation of swipe card access to room 122.

We are not expecting this work to cause any undue or prolonged disruption; however, the contractors will be working from ladders in the doorways. This should not block off access, but it may narrow the access down slightly while work is in progress.

We ask you to take care when you are passing through the area where the contractors are working and follow any contractor signage.

Please direct any queries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz.

Thank you for your patience as we complete these compliance works.

Tree Removal and Replacement Dovedale Campus

*Change of Date

Facilities Management Contractors will be undertaking Tree removal works on the Dovedale Campus adjacent to the Ring Road (currently closed due to construction work) between 7am and 5pm on * Wednesday 16 April.

These removal works are required to provide for a new power transformer for the new production building, and to futureproof power supply for the Dovedale Campus.

Facilities Management have adopted a two for one replacement policy to compensate for the loss of a tree. Four trees will be planted in the surrounding area in accordance with this 2:1 replacement policy.

While works are in progress, please ensure that you follow all signage on site, do not enter any fenced off areas, and remain aware of additional truck and machinery movement on site. There will be machinery noise from use of the chainsaw and chipper.
