Project Phase 3 – Multi Function Display Space – October 22

Phase 3 of our Wales to the World project has been progressing since our last update with lots to share.
The end steels of the building, centre and door posts, were sadly condemned and have been replaced with new metalwork.
The brickwork was removed from four of the side bays of the building facing our car park as the brickwork will be getting replaced with full height curtain wall glazing panels.

The ridge of the shed roof has had its glass panels reinstated, these were removed in 2014 after becoming damaged in storms and were no longer deemed safe, and it has made a huge difference to the natural light being let into the building.
The outside faces of the buidling have had external wall insulation installed and this has been covered with brick slips to mimic the original appearance of the former standard gauge engine shed.

The roof interior has been clad in a style that replicates the original ceiling, having been internally insulated under the original ceiling.

A new floor has been poured in the building to provide a level concrete surface on which to affix the rail that is also deep enough to cover the electrical conduit laid on the floor.

The first rails have been installed in the shed and the rest will be laid upon completion of the pouring of the concrete floor.
