Latest Update...
Week commencing 10th February to week commencing 24th February.
Excavation Works
Works to lay the foundations have now completed and the installation of the steel frame is underway.
Steel Work Installation
The steel work is being installed in sections as per the site plan. Section four of the five sections is underway. This phase will continue throughout February.
Delivery of the steel will be co-ordinated throughout the above period. Deliveries are not expected to cause disruption.
To construct the steel frame, a mobile crane has been situated on Library Avenue. To accommodate this, the pathway between BLS and the Library has been temporarily closed.
During the installation, a number of holes will be drilled in to the exposed concrete wall of the Library. Though this work will be carried out externally, some noise disruption is expected internally to the Library. This will be monitored closely and controled locally should works become too disruptive. Noisy works are not permitted after 11am as per previous arrangements.
Concrete flooring is being fitted to all levels of the first three sections of steel work. This will be carried out to all sections as and when they complete.
A minor diversion to drainage is being carried out and is not expected to cause any disruption to services.
Please note that a time-lapse camera is in operation on Library Avenue. The camera takes still photography and does not provide a live feed. The footage is downloaded periodically by the Facilities Marketing & Communications team and is used for marketing and communication purposes.
