Of all the installations I have ever seen at the festival this looks the most pointless. I really don't get it. It doesn't add anything. A pier into Pennards eating valuable camping space to give you a view of people having a shit and naked trampolining. 

One man's 'it doesn't add anything' is another man's 'view of people having a shit and naked trampolining'.

They look like 305x165x40 UKB steel beams with lots of lateral restraints at approx 450mm centres with 10mm fillet welds.
Course it is gonna being taking a lot of people on top of it all day everyday, but its going nowhere.
Its gonna be fine. 

Edit: Oh and the bolt holes look like M20 size. Its gonna be rigid as hell. 

What about a Ground Investigation Survey though?

They’re also a little bit too blasé about lift plans those Structural Engineer sorts - so keen to get cracking with their giant Meccano.

This is Gold Hayes....

So much is being added this year with relatively negligible ticket price increase. Amazed by all the negativity regarding a pier that’s not yet built, which if nothing else will mean the other parts of the site that you’re excited about will be slightly less busy as people hang out around the seaside

Damn right. We've no idea what this pier is going to be like in reality. I doubt very much it's going to be literally like stepping onto a dilapidated sad old seaside town pier. That's the theme, not what we're actually getting.

A cold beer and an ice cream by the seaside sounds perfect to me anyway

Yep - and ultimately, given his track record at the festival, I think that Joe Rush more than deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Are there two piers then?  Could we have the ultimate b2b set, one on the left pier one on the right pier?

Was told on training that there is no music on the pier.  Just “amusements”

isn't there a bandstand on it or has that been scrapped?

[tarw]

There is a bandstand there afaik. But I think they said there’s no music.  At least that’s what I heard 

[Woffy]

Maybe a (vodka) Punch & Judy (Finnegan) Show?

What about if the ground turns to mud?! 

Structural engineer, not a geotechnical engineer so not my problem.

But in all seriousness its problem so big old piles or pad foundations. Bit like football boot studs that tract to the ground. 
The thing ain't moving, don't worry!

I'm not doubting your credentials, but I wont sign it off on it until I've jumped up and down on it (with my boots on).

Then I'll give it the "shes sound"

One of my Friends goes around signing off on all the Structures at the festival, works some shifts with us too. I will ensure that big boots are worn and plenty of jumping is done

People reckon you'll have to queue to get on the thing? I'd guess if it's open Wednesday and Thursday then it'll be very busy.
