I went to pick my son up at Piccadilly and swung by for a quick look. The crane was still operational at 9:55pm

I've noticed that the centre entrance / exit is taller than the others. They're all the same on the Populus drawings, is there a reason for this change? (picture credit @ssskies )

One more post on this thread and it'll be MASSIVE

Fantastic detail @ssskies !! I would love to get my hands on those drawings.

:)

Women's training facility late this afternoon:

I took a few late this afternoon JRB. A bit of yellow support removal action.

I'm not sure if this is just new IT infrastructure waiting to be relocated somewhere in the stadium or if it's to do with the new turnstiles. Looks like new Cisco servers to me. (this is just inside the north west spiral)

I apologise for constantly going on about it but from @ssskies awesome drone flight there now seems to be tape flagging up the fact that this odd purlin needs work:

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.

Thanks @Coatigan @Penders1957 and @ssskies Found it :)

I took this photo of a massive beam fabrication on Sunday but it was also shown on the drone flights so I didn't share it. On the very latest drone flights it's gone but I can't for the life of me figure out where it's been fitted, can anyone else?

Still out of line. Thanks @ssskies

The North West side of the roof has the upstands but there aren't any on the North East side: They may be nothing to do with the Rooftop Walk as the route is shown parallel with the roof beams in the Design and Access Statement. Maybe they've tweaked the design.

I'm a Mechanical Design Engineer, when things don't line up it makes my brain hurt :)

Stunning flight this week @ssskies - amazing detail! I think that one of the purlins has been installed the wrong way round. The top surface of the upstands which will take the skywalk platform are all parallel apart from this one. I think it needs rotating through 180°

The continuation of the frame down the side of the offices now has some of the window frame installed: The compression / tension rods will be installed soon I'm guessing. Even though they're about Ø80mm they certainly do flex. I was trying to work out why just one roof beam had pairs of what...

I've just popped down to the Etihad to see first hand what progress has been made. What I presume is the end beam section waiting to be lifted onto the east side kinked beam: Close up of the steel framework slung under the office overhang:

Another great flight @ssskies, thanks very much! I see that the tensioning rods have been delivered. I think that these will span from the two caps down to each of the roof trusses.

I think that would cause a chain reaction
