Before the excavations for the foundations could begin in earnest there was about 0.75m of soil to remove across the site: this equated to something like 30 lorry loads of soil to send to tip. With the site levelled the contractor’s surveyor was able erect reference marks on site to set out the building and ensure the foundations were dug in the right places.
The wetter weather earlier this month has been an issue, with work having to stop when the rain makes the site too slippery for work. However drier weather since 12th May has allowed the contractor to get cracking on the foundations. All the concrete footings are now completed and the contractor has started the retaining wall between the canoe store and the rest of the clubhouse.
