Pier Update


The construction of the Visitor Centre on the pier is progressing well. The operation to cast the concrete slab went to plan. Whilst the promenade was closed, 165 tonnes of ready-mixed concrete was pumped from the road to the Visitor Centre.
After seven days the concrete was tested for strength to ensure it could take the weight of the crane, and passed the test. The timber panels for the building have since been delivered and are being erected as you read (unless late at night!).
The Bandstand Pavilion is ready for fitting as a restaurant. The cast iron balustrade has been repaired and will be reinstated. At the Pier Head the replacement of the trusses, deck beams and bracing continues, progressing towards the end of the Pier.
