North Stand Construction Discussion

Depends how they feel about the drone flying, Everton loved it.
Liverpool was a different story, i went on a stadium tour to get some footage of the stand from lower down and was chatting to one of the guides on the way round and told him i was one of the drone flyers. A little bit further on i was met by a different guide who told me i couldn't take any more pictures or videos and told to leave and if i posted the ones i did have on youtube then they would take legal action. So i went back to the entrance, got a refund on the tour and thanked them for the free footage which would be on youtube later!
Still waiting for the legal action .

Why does this not surprise me? Cults are notoriously secretive….

I'd support that - they've done a sterling job of documenting this build - just think back to the South Stand Extension, nothing like this was done by anyone back then - I hope they're getting good Ad Revenue from YT

Tbf @jrb himself did a pretty sterling job of reporting and recording the South Stand development, just didn’t have the aerial technology at the time!

The pictures are still floating about the internet somewhere.

I managed to get pictures of the crane being assembled. It was the first time that specific crane had been used in Europe. It was a brand new model. There's 2 of the same cranes being used for the North stand.

I'll try and find the pictures and post a link to them if anyone wants to see the crane close up being assembled?

Been watching and enjoying the excellent videos by ss skies and cp overview , however one thing that I always wonder is , when they lower the concrete terracing onto the steel structure there doesn't appear to be any form of connection ie: bolts or anything between the two , I imagine there must be some way they are secured to the steel work and each piece of terracing secured to the others but it's not obvious from the videos , or maybe it is , but because I don't know what I'm looking for I don't see it , I see the workmen using a crowbar to manouver the terrace blocks into place but don't see what they use to actually join the pieces.

From the picture I posted the other day. Enlarged. This might answer part of your question/s?

Not sure if the terracing is just sat in the steel brackets, or if it's fixed to the steel brackets? I can't see any fixing bolts on the steel brackets.

It does but on the local evening news tonight they said it's the "best stadium in England and probable the world" Hahaha.

As much as I hate to admit it, Spurs ground is probably the best at the minute, went there for the FA cup match last season and was blown away by it.....although the away concourse was claustrophobia inducing

Internally excellent
Outside its still a shithole and horrible to get to and away from.
A lovely stadium, shoehorned in too a small space.

Everton's ground looks fantastic. They must be so excited thinking about next season.

It does look good, better than the generic Leicester, Soton, Boro, Derby types built 20-30 years ago.

Spurs looked good but not great for away fans with very little room or facilities, I hope it is better than that for us, and the location makes it a lot more difficult to get too.

These are the voids I have mentioned a few times, that were introduced quite late along with the reshufflung of uses, which combined probably led to the delays in this block starting.

They basically link the retail or museum spaces where floors are coupled, so you can see up and down to the floors below/above. Voids with a double height space within two or more floors of the same use.

Ok that makes sense why an area of slab at Level 06 and 07 (45m2!!) is being cast with the provision that it can be removed at a later date without impacting the overall stability of the building. I hadn't realised this was the delay in starting but turned out quite helpful to me to be honest.....

Tbh the delay is a deduction on my part, not a hard fact. Purely based on the programme SiSK had put out, how long it took for that component to start, and the fact that they changed it from what was approved so late on. Safe bet to say it was delayed, but it I don't know this for a fact.
 
Will there be more than 2 internal levels in the new stand. I think I see a Ground floor, 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors in the new stand.

Belting video again Colin - I was a bit concerned at the end as you were reversing away from the stadium how close to one of the cranes you were = obviously you knew how close the drone was as you could see it directly from the Asda car park doh!

Looking at the scaffold as is on the west “pyramid” do you think they are going to put a cherry picker up there ???
