Facilities Management are starting a programme of work to visually inspect and verify internal floor plans in some buildings across both the Ilam and Dovedale Campuses.

To do this our Senior Surveyor will be completing a visual inspection of all spaces in a building, and noting where there are any differences to the floor plans sighted against those plans that the University have on file.

The first of these inspections are scheduled to take place in (ED02) Otakaro between Thursday 12 June and Friday 13 of June, followed by the Henry Field Library and Kotuku from 16 June until 19 June.

These inspections are separate to the building surveys currently being undertaken across Campus. The floor plan verification is about the plan of the building and the building condition survey is about the overall condition of the fabric of the building. All of this information will support robust information to support the management of our facilities.

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

 Thank you for your consideration as we undertake these verification inspections.

Facilities Management contractors will be undertaking Rotary Borehole Drilling and Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) on the Kirkwood Fields site between Thursday 12 June and Monday 23 June. These geotechnical and environmental site assessments are being completed, as per usual practice, ahead of any site development.

Contractors will be commencing works at 7.30am, and will be using mobile drill rigs that generate minimal noise and vibration. Each testing type is expected to take approximately five (5) days.

All works will remain confined within the designated site boundary. Please observe all site requirements, adhere to all signage, and follow directions provided by site personnel. Do not enter the designated or fenced work area,

Please direct enquiries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz

Thank you for your support as we complete these required investigations.

Facilities Management contractors will be working out of usual business hours in the Ernest Rutherford building between Wednesday 11 June and Monday 12 December.

The contractors expect to start work each Monday evening at 6pm, and work through until approximately 4am the following morning, completing fire compliance works on the braided hoses on the chilled beam system, the fire dampers, and other associated works.

This means that contractors will be onsite, and working overnight, each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for the expected 25-week duration of the project.

Some pre-works test runs may be completed within Rooms 120 and 410 and a wall installed in the corridor in front of Rm 116.

Please do not enter any work areas if you are onsite during while contractors are working.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration as we complete this required compliance work.

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

or to Security@canterbury.ac.nz if you have immediate concerns that should be addressed overnight.
