Piling works underway


The piling works are now well underway. This picture shows the steel supports that are being inserted into the ground. Each hole is half a metre in diameter and 9 metres in depth. That's about the same height as the main elevation of the hall. In total, around 300 tons of steel will be put into the ground to support the structure of the new glass wing.

The work is noisy, and, because of the clay soil base, very dusty. Our neighbours are being very patient so thank you. The piling work is due to stop at the end of next week.
