North Stand Construction Discussion

Coatigan said:
I still don't fully understand those yellow temporary connection pieces in those locations on the outer beams. Unless the columns themselves arent permanent, why have them there, why not just bear the beam onto a permanent connection and not have to jenga these ones and replace them later.

Unless the height of connections and tolerances are not predictable enough, and they have to almost settle it onto a temporary piece to then make that piece the right length. Which maybe the ply packers are doing in increment.

Anyone else got thoughts here? Been bugging me for some time now.

Me too! Its grey, yellow, grey, yellow going up, a total contradiction, my only conclusion that makes any sense is, they cocked up and the yellow pieces are permanent and somehow got painted wrong

I had thought that. Or vice versa, i.e the grey columns (which don't go all the way to the ground incidentally) are actually temporary but have been painted grey with the rest. Been one that I am keenly watching.

Then there is the plywood filler bit, which will for certain be temporary, possibly be replaced before the weights of the beam actually goes on it.

I thought that maybe the remaining steelwork is just to support the glazing(?) that forms the ends of the stand once the beams and roof load is taken up by the quod-pods?

Maybe, and then double it up as temporary props? I always thought those end beams, particularly given the angle change, would or should bear onto verticals. Seeing as they can, and there is also the junction to the existing roof to consider for the future, to make the external wall above pretty much fully independent.

But you could be right, time will tell.

Looks like they've got similar plywood packing there as well?

Does it? Hard to tell from the image, but cosn only imagine it might be at the head of the column, rather than bridging the temporary yellow piece itself.

These - solutions - do happen on sites all the time, it is just that this one is filmed in front of a live studio audience.

Actually, I don't think the east side one is plywood now, it looks like layers of something (rubber?) folded over on itself so that every two layers is just one piece of whatever it is? Temporary shock bracing until everything is attached? Perhaps the old roof has to be removed until we see what's going on with the end walls and the supports.

Looking on SS Skies new video I think it is to keep it above the cable net. When the old roof comes off I think they will have to retension the cable net
