North Stand Construction Discussion

[Penders1957]

Quick walk round today.

If you look closely right in the centre of picture4 you can see they’ve installed the first of the outer wall roof support pieces !

Currently being used as a temporary prop for the outside beams going up.

Very interesting that it’s steel bars and not cables for this roofs support, was thinking would cables suffice but obviously not. Don’t know about others on here but when you see the roof beams in the lay down area they look super long till you see them in situ and they look a lot smaller. Suppose perspective does that.

Not sure on the difference between beams and cables

Probably the stress levels are greater for this new food as opposed to the existing one. Just a guess.

Roof

Think I might of got away with that. :-)

You know when you see that , it’s in the main the place that both Drone pilots ( excluding that idiot Mr drone) use and bearing in mind the size of the modern drones , you ( or I ) wonder how they keep them in sight?? :-)

It’s not that difficult, mine is just under 1kg so isn’t that small to see(ssskies has the same drone), an unwritten rule is that if it is less than 500m away then it’s considered to be in sight

Ah makes sense that and I guess it will have more people walking on it too with the roof walk

Isn’t it the same for the rest of the cables around the stadium? They’re not actually ‘cables’ - it’s more a working term.

You can go and touch the ones that go into the ground in each corner. They’re exactly like the ones on the floor.

lots of progress today

Great video as normal.
I can't work out why they have the small yellow temporary bracket on all I can think of is it will help with the welding.
Also what is the really long unpainted beam for?

MCC today gave planning consent for the construction of what will be the tallest tower in Manchester close to Beetham Tower. It includes a hotel. I don't think it's known when construction will start. It will be the 3rd tallest building in the UK.

Let's hope the glass doesn't fall out like the Beetham.

Or make as much noise as Beetham Tower sometimes does when its windy. It's going to be almost 1.5 the height of Beetham Tower.

They're already calling Manchester the Windy City.
