RESIDENTS are being reminded about early morning noise disturbance as redevelopment works on Rhyl's Queen Market site reach a "major milestone".
As part of the development of the building along the town’s promenade, Wynne Construction will be undertaking significant concrete pouring on Tuesday, November 1 and Thursday, November 3, with activity due to run into the early hours on both days.
Concrete deliveries are expected to start after 8am, and due to the volume required, there will be increased construction traffic on the surrounding roads. In addition, due to the on-site process and curing period followed by the power floating, work is likely to finish in the early hours.
Andy Lea, project manager for Wynne Construction, said: “This upcoming work marks a key step in the build and one which provides a strong and secure foundation for the rest of the build. Due to the scale of the concrete needed there will be increased levels of traffic around the site as trucks make their deliveries, as well as changes to regular working hours to ensure the concrete can be poured and finished in the right timeframe.
"While our team will be working hard to minimise any disruption to surrounding areas, we apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and thank residents for their patience and understanding at this time.”
During the pouring and power floating, residents may hear a rotor noise similar to an airplane propellor rotating at speed, which is the sound generated from the power floater working to polish the concrete flooring.
Should the weather not be suitable, the pouring and setting will instead take place on the first day in the week which will be dry enough for the pouring to occur.
A third pour and power float are also planned for early 2023, which will see the foundation of the development finalised. Following the completion of the floor slabs, our attention will then turn to the installation of the superstructure steel frame and external cladding to house the new market hall.
The development will see the construction of a new indoor market hall containing a mezzanine for additional seating and pop-up vendors, as well as a versatile event space, offices for rent, and an external landscaped area.
Readers on the Journal Facebook page have been reacting to an artist's visualisation of the Queen's Market project.
Jason Roberts said: "Is that seriously an artists impression of the final product? What is it with Rhyl and all these hideous buildings going up? And by that I mean the Travelodge the flats across from there and new flats on Victoria Road. When did architects stop caring about the look of the buildings?"
John Steele commented: "The most expensive metal farm building ever built."
