Project update - January 2024
Here's the latest update
Site Activities:
A thrilling end to the year here at the Houghton Regis Community & Leisure Centre project. Hoping the festive period brought you some joy as it did here. With the steel frame and glulam install coming to completion and the roofing contractor making a start on the liner sheets, this provides us with some protection from bad weather conditions releasing more areas of work internally. The internal blockwork is progressing well and the concrete slab on the first floor is now complete. The shape of the new car park can now clearly be seen with 60% of the paving and tarmac now complete.
Community Engagement
During the end of the year we had a site visit from the Avenue Centre of Education (ACE), who provide a key service for secondary age students. Also, Tommy Fisher, a student at Bedford College attends site 2 days a week as part of his T Level course. Over the next few weeks we have visits from 2 sets of school students planned.
Upcoming work
Flying into the new year we’re hoping for another successful year as we wish for all our readers. Completion of the roof works will take precedence to provide us with weather protection. The external brick and blockwork will now accelerate to help enclose the building. Scaffolding will continue externally providing access for the brickwork and the Intumescent fire spraying will resume internally. Further car park construction works will take place which will enable the contractor parking to be relocated prior to landscaping works commencing.
