Once Stage 1 works are finished, the Integrated Design Team will be granted complete and secure access to all areas. This access will enable them to carry out the detailed design process and compile tender documentation for a thorough repair program.
The repair programme will include extensive repairs to roofs, valleys and rainwater disposal systems, protect and secure windows/doors, secure structural columns which have been exposed, repair walls and parapets, remove lead paint throughout and provide safe access to structures to facilitate regular inspection and maintenance. The Stage 2 works are scheduled to commence in Q4 2024 and are likely to take between 12 and 18 months to complete.
