Roof Works Waimairi Building 4 March – 28 March.

Facilities Management Contractors will be undertaking roof repairs to the Waimairi Building (ED04) between 7am Tuesday 4 March and 5pm Friday 28 March. We expect this work to take approximately three (3) weeks.

Contractors will be working on the roof itself and also from a cherry picker that will be moving around the outside of the building. We can expect some noise from these works; however, we don’t anticipate this to be excessively loud.

Please remain alert for machinery movement around the Waimairi building and be aware of all construction work in progress. Follow all contractor signage and do not enter any construction areas or go behind fenced or coned off areas.

Please direct any enquiries to fmassist.canterbury.ac

Thank you for your consideration as we work through these building maintenance and upgrade works.
