Anyone in the Wonky Brigade spotted this, I'm betting there was a clash with the Girder coming into the side and it had to be lifted. Hopefully the Screen company has been told.....

The additional Wheelchair spaces are going here unless there has been a change of design. It was a late change to remove some precaast elements and make them insitu although the works don't appear to have been done yet, I've been wondering for while when this will be done

Just to add also at Level 06 and Level 07 the club have allowed for quite a large section of internal slab to be removed should they want to open up a Double storey opening at those levels looking upto U/S of Roof. Quite a job I imagine but the design and detail of the floors slabs facilitates...

Coming back to my earlier point about precision fabrication, without knowing exactly what the connections are it would be minimum say 2 bolts each Fin plates each end, this would have to line up, probably one end would have slotted holes to account for tolerances but this would be no more than...

I'm not sure if the Wonky Roof Brigade has considered how projects like this are detailed for erection. All the individual pieces will have been detailed and fabricated from a 3D Model to absolute precision. It just wouldn't fit otherwise, I doubt there was any drilling of connections up on a...

The increase in size of pipe here creates the siphon break which allows the rain water to return to gravity flows, always an indicator if the roof drainage is a siphonic system.

I'm thinking it is maybe used as an aid for the fixers to locate lap locations in the rebar and or other areas where a change in profile happens and general setting out of the Slab to locate the face of rebar where the shutters need to be. The main roof slab here is being cast flat and the falls...

Thanks very much for this JRB, I'm certainly one of the Rebar lovers having detailed all this for SISK, I very rarely get to see close up how the steel fixers cope with some of the complexities I envisage when I'm detailing the rebar, especially when we have irregular shaped slabs. You can see...

This has got to be the opening game or away game in August 1987 (I Think) Imre Varadi Scored and I'm sure the Banana craze started from this, when we all shouted Imre Banana, as you say it was a glorious day and then the heavens opened and we all got drenched, remember a drenched fat bloke...

The Tension Rods will work in Tension and Compression, whereas Cables aren't much good in compression....

There is a plate behind that was cast in flush to the column face, these had various Stubs behind within the column with Rebar wrapped around (must be designed for quite a large pull out force.) The stubs have been bolted on afterwards with tapped holes from what I saw over the weekend, the...

You are correct, those stubs must of been post welded at some point, it was only a plate cast-in item behind flush with the column face

These cast in items are the supports for the LED screen, as you see located at each floor, will repeat on the Commercial Building also
