Description

Lambeth Council wish to appoint a specialist groundworks contractor to carry out re-levelling of pre-cast concrete slabs which make up the structure of the Kennington Park Skate bowl.

The skate bowl was designed and installed in Kennington Park in 1978, part of the revolutionary design known as "Radical Banking", which used a system of pre-cast concrete banked and flat-slab elements to create a skateable bowl.
Over the years the slabs have differentially settled and become mis-aligned. In 2012 an attempt to repair and add to the existing facility was made, with a nominal concrete skim to the top with some new additional skate ramps. Whilst this temporarily dealt with the gaps between the units from differential settlement, this has now cracked leaving the facility in a worst state of repair than before. Causing issues with drainage and cracks in the joints and un-level surface. The original concrete slabs had moved exposing many large gaps between the slabs. Due to the issues posed with health and safety the bowl was subsequently closed to the public.

Lambeth Council in collaboration with the Friends of Kennington Park wish to repair and bring the iconic skatebowl back into normal use.

Contractors are invited to submit priced proposal for the renovation of this iconic facility.

Works should be complete by 5th August 2022
