Good progress on the last stages of groundworks

Friday 16 Apr 2021

Progress continues around the site with Mackley finishing up the groundworks stage of the project. The damp proof course and initial blockwork has been installed around the building. The wash down tank has been installed and all of the chamber, water and service runs are being completed in careful sequence.

The concrete apron slab in front of and behind the building is being constructed and is now around half complete. There will be more concrete pours next week with a view to possibly completing the apron by the end of the week.

The timber planked terraces around the south and east of the site have been partly filled and compacted and end timber sections back to the capping beam installed. More obviously, installation of a guard rail around the southern and eastern edges, made of Ekki planks, has started, working from the beach bank along the capping beam.

Timber baulks have been drilled and fitted down the ALB ramp and grouted where required. There's some finishing works still to do after which a handrail will be installed in the first week of May.
