Beech Street Podium Works (As at 18th February 2014)
Procurement
The main contractor, VolkerLaser Lted, commenced initial works in November 2013, started work on the main project in Jan 2014. The new tiles have been granted approval as a reserved matter under each of the Listed Building Consents issued in respect of White Lyon Court and the main Beech Gardens area. A further approval is required for the material and finished colour of the pond lining and a sample is being prepared for this purpose by VolkerLaser Ltd.
Soft Landscaping
An initial meeting of the Landscaping Working Party have been convened, and Johanna Gibbons, Landscape Architect has been commissioned to provide design consultancy. The next meetings of the Beech Gardens landscaping working party are to be held on 6 and 27 March. Following these it is anticipated that a consultation exercise will be carried out in order to inform the final design of the landscaping scheme.
Work in progress
VolkerLaser Ltd are presently working at the south end of White Lyon Court, above GSMD and adjacent to the Virgin Active gym, and above Beech Street Tunnel. The recent wet weather has meant that the liquid applied waterproofing system cannot be used, and this element of the works is now moving forward with the advent of improved conditions. In the interim, VolkerLaser Ltd have been concentrating on removal of the tiles and screed, and preparation of the underlying surface in order to receive the waterproofing solution.
