Vegetation Clearance.

Some sections of wall are missing/ damaged to spans 8-12. There is quite a bit of work required to the brick end walls of spans 8-12.

The land adjacent to spans 8-12 is a little bit overgrown, but easily accessible at the moment as the vegetation has started to die down. We believe there is hardened ground below, or at least there was in 1994. it's just built up with vegetation and debris overtime. The contractor is required to excavate down to hardened ground to give us a 2m clear strip adjacent to the structure.
