About this tender

Overview Newcastle City Council is seeking tenders for remedial works at Wallsend Library, addressing longstanding box gutter and window leak issues at the facility.

It is the largest and most visited of Newcastle Libraries' 10 locations, with an average visitation of 11,480 people per month in 2023. For some years, the box gutters have leaked and represented an ongoing high maintenance and repair burden. Waterproofing of both gutters was undertaken in 2020, but this effort has been unsuccessful, and the box gutter substrate has deteriorated further, showing signs of corrosion. Adjacent to the forward (east) box gutter is a row of clerestory windows which have been the source of ongoing leak repair requests.
