The project comprised the demolition and clearance of existing facilities, including removal and disposal of asbestos, and the construction of a new jockey weighing room facility and new fully equipped hospitality suite together with viewing area.
The new jockey weighing room was constructed using traditional brick, block and render and incorporated male and female changing rooms, toilets, shower facilities and sauna, and, medical rooms, wash rooms, steward’s room and public toilets.
The new fully equipped hospitality suite was of steel frame construction with brick and render finishes. The building was curved to the same radius as the racecourse track and had to tie back into the existing adjacent bar. The new suite features sliding moveable walls enabling sub division into 6 individual suites, fully equipped industrial kitchen, rooftop viewing gallery and external decking area.
The project was carried out in 2 phases and all works were carefully planned and executed in close partnership with client and client design team to minimise disruption to ongoing operations and ensure maximum safety.
The project was completed on time and on budget.
