Uni changes story after Critic Te Arohi investigates
A routine story about the University proactively clearing away asbestos from an old building as part of an upgrade took an unexpected turn when the University sent mixed messages.
An earlier statement sent to Critic Te Arohi said that only the safer, “non-friable” form of asbestos was present, but after Critic found evidence to the contrary, the Uni admitted that a dangerous “friable” form of asbestos had been present in the biochem building for multiple years.
Critic originally requested comment from the University over the presence of asbestos in the aging Biochemistry Building after we were tipped off by a student to its presence. Asbestos, if you weren’t aware, is bad for you. As in, it’s a carcinogen with “no ‘safe’ lower limit of exposure [which] has been identified with certainty,” according to health.govt.nz.
Naylor Love Canterbury regional director Graeme Earl said the firm was thrilled to be delivering such a major project for Mid-Canterbury. “Ashburton’s new Library and Civic Centre will serve residents for decades to come, utilising some of the latest efficiencies in modern construction.”

Ashburton mayor Neil Brown and Naylor Love Canterbury regional director Graeme Earl sign off the build contract for the Ashburton Library and Civic Centre. The construction company giants had completed several major civic projects throughout the country, including the Ashburton EA Networks Centre. Contractors were currently embedding about 180 piles at the site, on the corner of Havelock St and Baring Square East, with construction expected to start mid-year.

Naylor Love chief executive Rick Herd, left, and Gibbons chief executive Scott Gibbons confirmed their joint venture at Nelson Airport in 2019. “Essentially we have disposed of our construction arm to Naylor Love.” The third-generation family business would now specialise in property investment and development, including design, procurement of land, and tenants, he said. “We have been moving in this direction for a number of years now. “We ve decided to specialise in an area, compared to being all things to all people.” Gibbons thanked customers for supporting the crane business and stressed concrete panel plant in Tāhunanui, which Gibbons Group and contractors had used to realise “interesting projects” and prominent buildings.
