Summer Progress on the St Andrew's Project

Externally the contractors have erected scaffolding with a temporary roof  and Monoflex sheeting to external elevations.

The scaffolding work also extends internally where a scaffold ‘birdcage’ is being erected to enable internal works and repairs and also providing a safety deck for the external roof works.
