Rachel Ellis of Groundwork Trust reports on the progress being made on building the new visitor centre.
“The build is on track to be delivered within the 12 month contract period. As with any project it is important to build contingency into the programme to allow for unexpected delays. In our case the challenge to timelines which has used up some of our contingency was in the groundwork stages. The dry spring and the heavy clay of the site meant that digging the foundations was a longer process than hoped, the ground was extremely hard.
Since then, things have proceeded very well and the straw work is due to be carried out during September to allow for the lime render to be applied before temperatures drop. There is nothing to give us any concern that the contract period will be insufficient.”
