Since our most recent update, our main contractor Neilcott has made the further progress:
- completed the soft stripping of the theatre's interior
- completed the demolition of the building to the West Elevation of the theatre, facing out onto Place Saint-Maur
- begun the demolition of the North elevation, facing onto Belmont Street
- started work to protect Place Saint-Maur from any potential impact whilst the theatre undergoes rejuvenation
- completed high level mechanical and electrical works
- installed a temporary traffic management solution on Belmont Street. This will remain in place for the duration of the theatre's rejuvenation
In the coming weeks, 'enabling' work will continue. This will include:
- completing demolition of the building's North elevation
- full installation of protective structures in Place Saint-Maur
- installation of steel supports at ground floor level
- installation of a piling mat, (once the design has been finalised) to ensure sufficient stability and reliability for the safe operation of piling rigs and other heavy plant on site
