Exhibition Hall works
Preparatory works are in progress, requiring diversion of
services, and Team Wednesday stripping down the former B1 building to its steel
frame. A crane contractor will be called upon to move the frames southwards lower
into the engineering field, to establish a covered place to store plant and
machinery.
All drawings for the Exhibition Shed foundations, levels and
steel work have been approved, the Council have passed a conditions document.
Allan Robinson is progressing through Building Regulations with the architect.
Foundation work is planned to start in August, for construction it is necessary to soon block off the current staff car park for which new barrier signage is to be provided.
Contractors are
expected to erect the steel frame and roofing in late October. Internal fit-out
works are yet to be planned and progressed by the museum, as finance and labour
permits.
