Build Blog - 1 - November 2012

15th November 2012

We can at last add a new chapter to Kent Scouts history at Lower Grange Farm! As of 7:30am on Monday 19th November the contractors arrived on site and started work on our brand new climbing centre!

21st November 2012

Today we cut through the capping layer at each of the base locations, excavate for the column base, set up all the bolts for the steels and concrete them in place.

22nd November 2012

Concrete pad foundations complete.

All 12 bases are now concreted with the holding down bolts for the steel structure positioned.

We now enter a one week curing period where the concrete gains enough strength to take the massive steel structure that goes on it.
