The contractors at Central Park have made an impressive start to their huge race circuit renovation project.
Rachel Corden, Greyhound Operations Director, said, ‘Week One is going very well and we are currently on schedule at this point. GBGB’s Mark Peacock has visited and Dr Christian Spring from STRI has been overseeing the works throughout the week.
“The old surface has been completely removed and the team are now getting ready to set the foundation for the new racing surface. Retaining curbing is being installed and Gavin Smith is on site re-fitting the hare rail.
“The new state of the art drainage system will be installed next week, with the final week seeing the installation of the new running surface and preparing for re-opening’.
Dr Christian Spring, Principal Scientist at STRI, said: “This is an exciting project. Works have progressed as I would expect and in accordance with the schedule. Being on site as the build progresses means that I can give support to the teams as required”.
The huge stockpile of aggregate and sand in already on site.
