St James Park, home of Exeter City Football Club, is entering the next phase of its £3.4 million stadium redevelopment project.
The old Stagecoach stand has now been demolished. A new stand is currently being built in its place, along with other improvements including the ground’s away end.
The most recent activity at the ground has been the piling operation, which saw 160 piles sunk to an average depth of 12 metres to provide the foundations for the new Grandstand.
A spokesman says: ‘We are pleased to be able to report that the piling operation was completed on programme and without encountering any significant problems.
‘Work has now started on constructing the pile caps, ring beams and retaining walls for both the Grandstand and the Triangle. Drainage and service connections for both areas will also be put in place during this phase of the project.’
