Hastings Pier Update

The pre-fabricated timber structure for the new Visitor Centre on the Pier was erected quicker than planned for, taking less than 4 weeks. 280 panels were connected to construct the 40 metre long building. 

Before the final cladding is attached, the building is being waterproofed and insulated; the cladding to be made of recycled deck boards, with stainless steel features to match the existing pavilion. Also, the interior of the building is being fitted to create the education and digital archive function room, the planned shop and kitchen.

To the west of the existing pavilion, the refurbished 100 year-old cast iron balustrade is being reinstated. Also, trusses, deck beams and bracing is being replaced, as necessary, whilst work progresses towards the end of the pier.
