Fletcher Building notes media reports in relation to the investigations by the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment and WorkSafe into the potential asbestos contamination of certain fire doors supplied by Pacific Door Systems, the country’s largest fire door manufacturer, which is owned by the ASSA ABLOY Group.
Fletcher Building’s project team for the New Zealand International Convention Centre has been made aware that this issue may involve fire doors supplied to the project by Pacific Door Systems. They are undertaking investigations to confirm the extent of any issue.
Importantly, surface testing undertaken to date has confirmed no asbestos residue in occupied or public areas, and the current advice is that potentially impacted doors are safe in their current, installed state.
SkyCity has been informed of the situation and we are working closely together to understand any impacts.
