Upcoming power outages on South Ridge, Bedford Park
Across May, June and July we will be doing mandatory electrical maintenance that will involve power outages affecting all buildings in Science & Engineering on the south ridge at Bedford Park. At the moment, we are consulting with building users to work on a plan to minimise disruption as much as possible. Electrical works include:
May and June
RCD Testing and Appliance Test & Tag for the following buildings: Engineering, IST, Earth Sciences, SILC and Physical Sciences Workshop.
July
RCD Testing and Appliance Test & Tag for Physical Sciences and Biology buildings.
High Voltage maintenance affecting all South Ridge buildings.
Commissioning of the new transformer for the Biology building.
Service isolation for the Undergraduate Sciences Labs Stage 2.
We are in the process of meeting with researchers and managers of sensitive equipment. If you are planning or running research across these months, or manage power sensitive equipment, and have not yet been contacted by PFD, please contact Pram Kalubowila.
Electrical Maintenance Program
To meet mandatory compliance obligations and keep everyone safe, the essential electrical safety maintenance team will be on north ridge during April in the following buildings:
- Yungkurrinthi Student Engagement Centre
- Health Counselling & Disability
- Sports Centre
- Health Sciences, and
- Health Sciences Lecture Theatre Complex.
What does it involve?
RCD (Safety Switch) Testing will be conducted between midnight and 8am, involving a short power outage. Test & Tag of electrical appliances will be conducted both after hours and during business hours. It requires your appliances to be available and powered down for a few minutes.
What do you need to do?
- Save your work before you leave each day.
- If you keep appliances in secure cupboards/rooms, please contact Luke Lilburn to arrange a time to have them tested.
- If you manage power sensitive or critical equipment and require specific timing arrangements to minimise impact, please contact Luke Lilburn.
