Dear all
To ensure the contractors, Willmott Dixon (WD), understand fully how the building, Chichester I, is
wired they will be working around the building identifying all of the electrical services (distribution
boards and what is powered from each).
The work will commence tomorrow, Thursday 22nd October. It is anticipated that the work will all
be completed by Friday morning, 30th October. No work is planned over weekends.
The proposed schedule is as below.
The attached drawing shows T1, T2, T3, R1 and R2 and thus the location of your office, or laboratory.
The areas run vertically through the building thus each T1 etc appear on all levels of the building.
The second floor may possibly be independent of all of T1-3, R1-2, this is one of the issues being
investigated.
The schedule below is an indicative schedule as it is possible work will progress faster than predicted
or more slowly.
To minimise disruption the WD team will be working from 5pm until 1am.
It is requested that everyone turns off all equipment, including computers, by 5pm during the days
listed below. In addition please remove or secure all personal items.
