Work around the SW7 site has stepped up over the past few days. With more machines and people on site every day. Metal beams have been added to the sides of the pit with concreate tiles added in-between them to stop soil coming into the pit. Progress is still a little slow but at least we're getting somewhere now after the very slow start to the project.

Danger Deep Excavations, work on the pit towards the far end of the site has continued nicely over the past few days. It would appear that the site could soon be receiving a concreate delivery. With metal reinforcements being laid towards the back of the site. However we’re still a long way away from getting track on site.

Foundations for the ride have continued to be dug over the past week. However metal supports have been inserted for what we believe is to keep the surrounding ground from collapsing in / ground stabilisation.

Work on levelling out the site continues this week with reinforced beams and metal sheeting for the pit starting to make their way on site. The pit looks to have been made a lot deeper since out last visit. However, the whole site is a long way off getting roller-coaster track. We don’t think it’s going to open on time for March.
