Provision of Resurveying of UQ Buildings Containing Asbestos

The Property and Facilities Division (P&F) is responsible for the construction of new buildings, alterations to existing accommodation, maintenance of University grounds, security, building maintenance, cleaning and waste management of 154 buildings on the main St Lucia campus, 16 buildings on the Herston campus as well as a further 272 buildings on the Gatton campus and other remote sites. The Division maintains offices at the St Lucia, Gatton and Herston campuses and employs a large internal staff of professional, administrative, maintenance, security and services positions as well as employing many other sub-Contractors.

The University of Queensland has a diverse range of buildings requiring maintenance strategies to optimise their performance over the short, medium and long-term. Resurveying of these buildings containing asbestos will assist in the management of buildings containing asbestos and help ensure asbestos containing materials (ACM) are not damaged nor deteriorated to such an extent that University staff and students, external contractors or visitors are unnecessarily exposed to airborne asbestos fibres.
