Notice of Disruption – Intermittent Electricity Outages – Riggs Building (C023), Stokes Building (C024), Lewis Lecture Theatre (C028), Booth Block C027), Maths & Computing Science (C026), Rural Futures (C012), Water Policy/Sports Exercise (C021), Psychology Buildings (S005 – S008), Mary White College (S171 – S179), Zoology Building (S001), Botany Building (S002), Botany Greenhouse & Mescosm (S040), 1st Year Bio Science Lab and Lecture Theatre (S003), McClymont Building including Rural Science Annexe (W034), Natural Resources Building (W021) and Earth Sciences Building (C002)

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

FMS wish to advise an update on Power outage for Essential Energy to replace transformers at Riggs Building sub-station:

1.       Essential Energy Power off at 6.00am on Saturday 03 December, restored by 4.00pm on Sunday 04 December.

2.       FMS back feed power by 7.00am Saturday (1 hour black out). Back feed off approx 3.00pm Sunday (1 hour black out).

3.       Turn off Physics Rd down between ITD and Riggs building closed from 7.00am Saturday to 4.00pm Sunday.

FMS have determined a process for supplying power to affected buildings during this work, however, this supply has reduced capacity from normal, so load will have to be contained. For this reason we will turn off all air conditioning during the works. Thus we anticipate two total outages of brief (1 hour) duration at approx 6.30 am on Saturday, with the “work-around” supply back on by 7.00am; and again at approx 3.00pm on Sunday, with Full power restored by 4.00pm.

 

To assist with load containment, please ensure that all non essential electrical equipment (mini-boils, empty frigs, printer/mfd, stills etc) as well as all computers and lights are turned off on Friday as you leave your building.   If buildings are in use over this weekend, ensure that you remain aware of when the total outages are due to occur so that you can save any computer work before it is lost.  The total outages are not of long duration, so frigs, cool rooms etc will not be affected so long as they are not opened.

 

FMS apologises for any inconvenience that this  work may cause, but it is necessary for the continued safe, secure supply of electric power to the University.  For any queries re this work please contact either the undersigned or Steve Howard (Electrical Supervisor) on 0409 446 416.
