Noisy Works: Building 69

Please be advised there will be a series of major noisy works occurring across the roof of Building 69 as we undergo roof replacement. There will be no impact to operations and users are able to access and use the building.

Affected Areas

• Building 69
  • In particular Levels 7 and 8
• Priestley Building (67)
  • All noise or disruption should be minimal
• John Hines Building (62)
  • All noise or disruption should be minimal

When

• Start: Saturday 15 April 2023
• Finish: Wednesday 19 April 2023
• Times: 5:30am to 5:00pm

Work details

• Works are isolated to Building 69’s roof. No other roofs will be worked on at this time.
• To deliver Building 69s roof, we intend to split the roof into 4 x sections to be able to contain the noise and disruption to separate areas of the building.
• The tasks at this time are solely related to the removal of pre-existing concrete plinths and hobs no longer in use.
• At this time, major works will be isolated to the central part of the roof in order to remove concrete plinths.
• All works are weather dependent and so timeframes must be flexible.

Project details

Project will include:

• Removing and replacing existing roof sheeting
• Investigating the existing purlins and replacing and/or repairing as needed
• Installing new flashing and capping across the parapet
• Upgrading the existing drainage systems and outflow points
• Removing the existing waterproof membrane and re-installing
• Removing old concrete plinths that are no longer in use
