Shipping Containers Coming To Fargate

[butlers 259]

The asbesto thing is a total red herring.

 

A surveyor was there today .

 

 

The point of conflict is a sewer runs under the site, the inspection chamber is about 20 feet away on Leopold street.

Yorkshire water are worried  about the foundations or lack of for the shipping containers.

As it's currently set up looks like the foundations are small  frames of 4 by 2 timber

 

Surely it has to open at some point and that £300,000 initial budget that had blown up to £420,000 will jump a little higher

More accurate than my initial post

I have seen at festivals and other one off events a waste pipe discharged into a inspection chamber with temporary cover fitted.

I can't see any inspection chamber  on the paving so that implies one needs digging and the hefty connection fee paying 

Presumably this project has been in the pipeline since last year ..seems a hell of an oversight

Hmmm...

Well this is a bit of a shock!

It's certainly not like SCC to have a 'brilliant idea' without thinking it through properly first...

Sounds like they have a fair few of these traders line up? One of them is even leaving a successful premises on Abbeydale Rd.  Worth a go, sorry to be the sole voice of positivity.

Hope he hasnt left yet

I am back. 

 

So I rethought what the guy said and yes there is an inspection chamber inside the fence and it's exactly where he said, 2nd lot of removed flags by Leopold st

YW are bothered about  it being under a container though.

Things are on the up!

The Star have confirmed the reason for the delay, and as previously posted in this thread it's to do with the sewers

Cllr. Iqbal's comment in that article shows how the Council doesn't think things through, IMO.

[butlers 259]

The containers will be about 15 tons each and its double stack.

And the current set up like all that weight goes through 6 tiny pads

Wondered how heavy they were, thanks, So we're talking  90-120 tons on those tiny wooden (or may be concrete) pads? Madness of the highest order!
