Юлиана (Yuliana) from Moscow enjoyed the Pier Workshop on the Stade

And so did they!

Project Artworks / Hastings Pier

We hope you can come along and see this exhibition showcasing the work that Hastings Pier has been doing with Project Artworks.

Project Artworks in an organisation based in Hastings that works with adults with complex needs: http://www.projectartworks.org/coming-soon/

For over a year the participants have been exploring the history of the Pier and have had supported access to the Hastings Pier site during construction and have been making films and art works.

The installation of films and art work is a celebration of the work so far and shows the powerful personal connections and memories that the group have to Hastings Pier.

They start them young at the Pier Hub, even when it is on The Stade.

The Jeremy / Eugenius Room on the Pier

From the Newsletter

Jeremy was a great supporter of the Pier; he features as an important participant in very many of the most significant photos that mark the progress of the Pier project.

Hastings Pier Charity would like to acknowledge his tremendous contribution to making the restoration of Hastings Pier a reality and we will be naming the education room in the newly built Visitor Centre the Birch Room in recognition of the two Birches – Jeremy and Eugenius – who have both put their energy and expertise to the service of the Pier, past, present and future.

Construction update: June 2015

The main steelwork for the Visitor Centre support structure is now in place.  The next operation is to install the diagonal bracing to tie the structure together.  This will be completed in early June enabling the concrete slab to be formed.

Constructing the concrete slab will be a complex operation as firstly a troughed steel deck is laid on the steelwork.  There is then reinforcement fixed in place to provide the tensile strength and to tie the slab to the existing Pier steelwork.
Finally there is the concrete.

As the Pier is not strong enough to take the weight of a concrete lorry, it will be necessary to pump the concrete from the loading bay on the promenade. This will be a difficult operation with well over 100 tonnes of concrete being pumped nearly 200 metres along the Pier in one continuous operation.

Elsewhere on the Pier work continues with trusses and beams being replaced and ties and bracing being installed beneath.

Access to the end of the Pier is soon be in place and then  the remaining 1000sq metres of old deck boarding will be removed.  This deck board will be recycled, either to be made into furniture for the Pier or to be used as cladding for part of the Visitor Centre.
