The
replacement of steelwork at the Pier Head is now 85% completed. On
the west side a column that had severely deteriorated has been
replaced; 2 new small diameter piles were filled with reinforcement
and concreted.
Work
on the Visitor Centre continues with the cladding nearly completed on
the west side. On the east side, remaining deck boards from the far
end of the Pier Head need to be lifted so that they can be prepared
and re-used as cladding. The zinc trim around the windows and
entrances is also being fitted.
Inside the Visitor Centre, the services and sprinklers have been installed and the floor and fitting is now well underway. Shortly the construction of the steps and arena seating on the north end of the building will be commenced.
The re-instatement of the old cast iron balustrade at the front of the Pier has been completed, exactly 100 years after it was originally installed!
Under the Pier the main services, gas, water, electric and drainage are being connected. The pipes and wires are fixed to the structure with access gained via the new crawl way. For more information go to the People's pier website.
