As part of the ongoing Campus Survey works, Facilities Management contractors will be undertaking geotechnical investigations along the Avon River edge and within the car park adjacent to the Health Centre and Haere-roa from tomorrow Wednesday 21 January to Friday 23 January.

Traffic management will be in place on the grass verge along University Drive, near the pedestrian crossing to Haere-roa. This area will be coned off on Wednesday 21 January to enable cone penetration testing. Some noise may be experienced during this activity.

All other testing within the car park areas will be carried out using hand augers only.

What do you need to do?

• Please take care and watch for survey staff working in the car park and along University Drive.
• Do not enter any coned-off areas.

For all enquiries, please contact fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz.

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

The footpath to the south-west of the Security Building at 114 Ilam Road (RH01) will be closed from 7:00am tomorrow, Tuesday 20 January, until 5:00pm on Monday 16 February.

Facilities Management contractors will be constructing a timber boardwalk over the existing footpath where tree roots are creating a trip hazard.

Temporary fencing will be installed around the work area, and a site office container will be positioned nearby to support coordination of the construction activities currently underway in and around the Science Road carpark.
