Progress on site - latest pictures

It's a while since I've posted any pictures from the site so here's an update of what's been going on over the past few weeks:

The rock bolting on the cliff face next to terrace D has been completed.
The rock can now be left exposed rather than being covered in safety netting.

These are the last few rock bolts going in.  The stone buttress just above here will be pointed.

There is still some work before this trench through the rock is deep enough to accommodate the surface water attenuation pipe.  At least the higher than expected rock levels will mean that less concrete will need to be used in the foundations.

The rock on the right is to be broken up smaller and used to fill gabion baskets

The foundations for terrace F are taking shape

...and a huge manhole is being constructed to take the sewage down from  Mill Lane to Forgebank Walk

this shows the square at the east end of terrace B 

in terrace A, boxes for the doors and windows have been installed

...whilst those for the other terraces are being made in the Mill.
You can see the wood chip store and boiler house being built in the background

Nothing happening at the boathouse yet - but we are sorting out the Environment Agency consent for the viewing platform which will run along the south side of the building overlooking the river

At the far end of the site we are exposing the rock face adjacent to the emergency turning area and picnic site, and removing all the trees growing out of it so that it can be properly examined and made safe
