Construction update – April 2016

Construction is preparing to hand over to Operations and Maintenance.

The Pier Head balustrade and front lighting are still to be finished as well the fitting out of the displays inside The Pavilion restaurant and The Deck.

The electrics, water, heating and ventilation systems and lift have been tested as the retail kiosks are being fitted out.

Maintenance of the structure starts now, so the older trusses and bracings go into an inspection process with planned replacement into the future. It is this work which has to be funded by successful Operations and activities on the Pier to prevent the Pier falling into decline and is key to preserving its heritage. 

Hastings Pier has entered the next stage in its evolution and this is an exciting prospect for the all piers in general and for this town in particular.
