The contractor responsible for the rebuilding of the Grand Pier in Weston Super Mare has completed a topping out ceremony on the reborn pier.

John Sisk where responsible for delivering a modern, state of the art structure which is due to open in the summer of 2010.

Featuring a stunning new pavilion the Grand Pier could be know as the Grander Pier!

Kerry Michael who is the owner of the Grand Pier commented – “Having overcome the initial shock and despair of losing the Pavilion, we went through difficult process of obtaining all the necessary permissions and now finally, we are in the exciting phase where we can see the building taking shape every day. The internal fit out begins next week and we can’t wait for the day it opens.”

Paul Wilson, MD at Sisk’s admitted that the environment and location posed a unique set of challenges for the builing firm as they battled with the sea and weather whilst working on the project.
