The new Sandy Bay Pavilion is continuing to progress well with completion still expected in early 2021. Internally, over the next month, the joinery work will be completed on-site, doors and windows will be installed, plastering will be finished along with floor coverings and lift insulation. Externally, the contractor is due to complete drainage works, paving surrounding the pavilion and the entrance canopy.

Works on Sandy Bay Pavilion are progressing well with the completion expected in early 2021. To date, the retaining walls and foundations have been finished along with the steel structural frame. The Pavilion now has precast concrete floors and internal stairs installed and the roof is almost complete. Brick and blockwork to both floors has also been finished along with the concrete structure for the walkway alongside Tower Road. Drainage, mechanical and electrical works are still underway.

Works on the Sandy Bay site are continuing to progress well. Currently, the contractor is building the retaining wall and foundations alongside Tower Road. Following this work, weather permitting, the contractor will install the drainage system. The steel frame for the new pavilion will then be erected with completion expected for Autumn.

Works being carried out on the new Sandy Bay pavilion are progressing well. Once the weather improves the contractor will install a loam at the site and the pitch section of the project is expected to be completed by Spring. Construction of the new pavilion will start with expected completion by Autumn 2020.

The tender for the works on the new Sandy Bay Pavilion was issued on Tuesday, June 4. We are now awaiting submissions from a number of contractors. The deadline for these submissions is early July.

Following final meetings with the design team for Sandy Bay pavilion the tender will now be ready for issue at the end of May. The anticipated date for works to commence is the end of July to allow for the 12th July holiday period.

We’re engaging with local community reps to make sure all the latest updates on the work are communicated.
