There are several pieces of essential
maintenance and survey work that needs to be carried out at Bankside. We
have worked with the contractors to schedule this work at the beginning of
the Easter Vacation so as to minimise disruption in the run up to
exams. We appreciate that it will still cause inconvenience but we hope that
by scheduling the work like this we can minimise
disruption.
Borehole drilling - 28th - 31st
March.
There will be drilling in the basement, near the student laundry, between
Monday 28th and Thursday 31st March inclusive. This will produce some noise
during the day. The noisiest day will be on Tuesday 29th March.
Fixed Electrical Testing - two
weeks from Tuesday 29th March.
For two weeks from Tuesday 29th March Initial
Building Services will be testing the fixed electrical wiring in the
building. These periodic tests are required by law to ensure safety. During
the first week the engineers will test the communal areas, in the second
week they will be testing wiring in bedrooms. The test should only take a
few minutes and you are not required to be present in your room at the time.
Bus bar testing - 30th
and 31st March.
Following the heating failure in the early part of the year there will be
testing taking place on the main bus bars for the building. There will be
power, heat and light disruption to the west wing (lower room numbers) on
30th March and to the east wing (higher room numbers) on the 31st March.
Showerhead Cleaning - Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd April.
The monthly statutory showerhead and extractor clean will take place on 2nd and 3rd
April.
Surveyors on site -
Monday 4th April.
There
will be surveyors on site on Monday 4th April. The surveyors will
require access to some rooms on the sixth and seventh floors - you will be
contacted individually if they need access to your room. Please note the
change of date for this works.
Noise testing - during
Easter.
On two days during the
Easter Vacation there will be some noise testing to establish how noisy the
planned building works will be. The testing will take place in the middle of
the day and we will let you know exact dates as soon as we get
these details. Please note the change of date for these works.
Shower Sealing.
The shower sealing works
will continue throughout the Easter break.
