Restoration of the Boating Pond - update

The work begins!

Here is an update from volunteer Andrew Polycarpou about progress on the works to the restore Broomfield’s Boating Pond.

The images show an excavator forming the area where the crane mat will be. The crane mat allows for a 40 tonne crane to stand and remove the existing pump. Also, the image shows an access road taking form that allows the crane to traverse from Alderman’s Hill to the crane mat location.

Highlights so far:

Create access road and mat for crane
Tree surgery complete to Aldermans Hill
New Secure Metal Gate installed to Aldermans Claire Hill
Excavation for access road and crane mat complete
Sub-structure test successfully performed

Next steps:

Create access road and mat for crane
Repair drainage & manhole
Start concrete repairs to boating pond
