Hastings Pier update

The main steelwork for the Visitor Centre support structure is now in place. The next operation is to install the diagonal bracing to tie the structure together. This will be completed early this month, then enabling a concrete slab to be formed, which will be made on the pier. Elsewhere on the pier, work continues with trusses and beams being replaced, and ties and bracing being installed underneath. 

Access to the end of the Pier will soon be possible, and the remaining 1000sq metres of old deck boarding can be removed. This deck board will be recycled, either to be made into furniture for the Pier, or to be used as cladding for part of the Visitor Centre 

Finally, the main structure of the existing pavilion will be completed soon, ready for the internal fitting of the restaurant. For more information go to the website, with many thanks to the Hastings Pier Charity for the photograph.
