Hornby centre construction update – May 2021

There's not much to see yet, but here's a glimpse behind the fences of how work is going on the Kyle Park site for the new Hornby centre.

HEB Construction is hard at work preparing the site for construction. They've finished most of the excavation and have started bringing in gravel to fill in the earth, and work is well underway on the temporary path at the west end of the site.  

Because COVID-19 has created a worldwide shortage in the steel used for construction, we've already ordered the steel for the piles that will support the building, to help us get in nice and early.

The contract for the construction is now out for tender. It's open for four weeks and we'll have a contractor confirmed around the middle of July. Watch this space.

We expect to celebrate the opening of this facility late next year.
