Construction update
Work is gathering pace on the Pier. Replacement steelwork and new decking is now substantially completed to the Parade Extension. The concentration is now on the central spine along the Pier to provide access to the Pier Head. Work on the Old Pavilion building has started to transform it into a restaurant. 50 new supporting deck beams have been inserted beneath the building. The building has been stripped out and the internal partitions removed. Work will now start on replacing the floor structure and altering the outside walls. The roof structure has been exposed and looks to be in a reasonable condition, particularly as it is about 100 years old. We will be re-covering the main roof and the two cupolas probably with zinc. At the beginning of September a jack-up barge may be arriving. It will moor alongside the Pier and will provide safe access for the initial demolition works and will also be used to install the new piles for the Visitor Centre. It is planned to be here for four weeks.
