Angle Park Redevelopment Update
It’s been a few weeks since the last update on the Angle Park redevelopment project, and I am happy to report that works have been progressing well despite some significant rain days in Adelaide in the past month.
The majority of the track concreting work has been completed, including the inner and outer plinths, three of the four starting slabs, as well as the track base in readiness for the final sand layer.
All trenching works on the infield and along the home straight have been completed, and the electrical and plumbing contractors have installed cabling and irrigation piping into the underground conduits.
Foundations have been poured for the realigned light poles along the home straight, with new light poles set to arrive on site late this week, which will be installed shortly after.
Next week the track will really start to take shape, as the fencing contractor commences work on the outer track fence. The enclosing of the track should really start to return the site to how it was prior to the commencement of works.
The refurbished starting shelters and starting boxes will then begin to be placed on the starting slabs and the lure rail contractors will return to finish off the rail, prior to the sand surface being laid on the track.
Projects not associated directly with the race track development are also on track to be completed towards the end of July. This includes the wash bay works, kennel house flooring, judges tower reconfiguration, installation of the video board and general frontage works.
Despite the delays associated with the poorer weather in the past month, the project remains on schedule to recommence racing in August. Timeframes are starting to get tight, but management is optimistic that these dates can be met.
