Summary of Progress
The grounds works have now completed, with a 300mm layer of granular fill spread over the site to ensure consistency. The enabling works contractors have now vacated site.
All the steel whalers and ground anchors have now been installed and the Lancashire Yorkshire Railway wall should now be appropriately supported to enable the main works to commence.
Parts of an overflow culvert has been exposed across the North, South line of the land. We have reviewed the condition of the culvert by a CCTV survey, and the maintenance issues will be passed to the successful contractor responsible for the construction of the new building.
We have also conducted a condition survey of the River Irk culvert running beneath Walker’s Croft, this is in order to record its condition before the works start.
The temporary bus shelter and hoarding graphics have now been installed, we have cut vision panels into the hoarding to enable the public to see how we are progressing.
The enabling works have now completed and the construction of the main building should start over the coming weeks.
