Construction
Construction work on the Gull Wing will begin in the Spring of 2021. Preparation began in February 2021, with pilot drilling taking place to confirm locations of utilities such as water and gas pipes.
Hoardings around the perimeter of the site will be going up in March 2021, with equipment and machinery starting to arrive around the same time.
