Our new Pavilion at Locks Ride Recreation Ground is an eagerly anticipated project for Winkfield Parish Council. Despite some weather-related delays earlier this year, we’re happy to report that the groundwork, water drainage systems and substructure is now complete ready for installation of the SIP’s. The use of 175mm structural insulated panels (SIPs) installed by SBUK will facilitate a faster build, ensuring both speed and quality in the construction process. The panels are used for the walls and roof, creating a seamless and highly efficient structure. Despite the challenges, the project is now back on schedule and progressing visibly. We greatly look forward to seeing the community benefit from this valuable and modern facility once complete.
