North Stand Construction Discussion

The sprinkler system will be for the hotel and offices. It will probably be a life safety system. I'm pretty certain that underground tanks are not compliant for a life safety sprinkler system.

I bow to your superior knowledge of sprinkler systems !:-)

Unfortunately the crane model number isn't visible, but it's a mobile 5 axel crane. If anyone knows the crane model number, can you post it please, just out of interest. Thanks. I've looked on the Ainscough website, but I can't place that actual crane. Ainscough have a few 5 axel cranes in their fleet of mobile cranes.

Pictures from CP's video.

It does look like the

110T – Liebherr LTM1110-5.1

Get the quick to set up, self-contained, powerful, and versatile telescopic boom all-terrain crane for your next construction project.

But it looks a bit smaller than the Ainscough crane at the Etihad.

Here's a handful of photos from Monday. The Women's headquarters are progressing steadily and there's some more internal structure in the North Stand extension. The amount of steelwork still staggers me.

You can see the panels where the city square roof will connect to and what height it will sit at. And also the completely windowless entire western side of the office block.

So there’s a whole floor of the hotel( rooms) below the etfe roof then , they will be rooms to avoid in the winter , heavy rain or hailstones will sound like the Carl Palmer drum solo from “ fanfare for the common man “

Also on the office building it’s club shop then museum above then all office space

Great drumming from Carl

This covers the possible rainfall noise not being a real issue from experience aside from a couple of applications and they have a retrospective remedy available

I have mentioned the sound of that roof a few times, not sure people appreciate how noisy it will be. Even when not raining, if windy. The rooms facing that will have to deal with that, and yes those immediately below and above it will have it the worst.

Just having a guess but the museum will not want window's because they will want to control the light and temperature of the room plus they will want lot's of wall space for displays.

Thought that at one point, hence saying previously I wondered what is actually in there. If that is the case the fitout is far more advanced than was previously suggested.

Even so, with three windowlesss sides of that building, still feels excessive. Particularly as that is the side the circulation is on. There are also other ways to do that, without leaving it inflexible for future changes, which this will do particularly once the sails are on. Just my observation, at this point in time.

So is the museum just the one floor ? In one of the images it appears to be 2 floors which could explain the solid western elevation ??

We don't really know. The floors are down as retail/commercial/office. The actual portions have changed late in the process, reducing the office and increasing the retail. I did a summary previously of the amended scheme, can't be bothered looking back now. Could assume above that it will all be clear glazing for the offices.

Again, I'm sure it is all thought out and as planned. Just odd how late it is all happening relative to the approved scheme. And also that they are so rigid with it to commit to effectively a permanent blanking on those floors. Possibly more.
