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

Ok that makes sense why an area of slab at Level 06 and 07 (45m2!!) is being cast with the provision that it can be removed at a later date without impacting the overall stability of the building. I hadn't realised this was the delay in starting but turned out quite helpful to me to be honest.....

The holes have continuity systems around the perimeter which at present is hidden in a sealed box, the cover is removed and the Bars pulled out into the opening. Loose bars are then lapped onto the pull out bars and the hole filled with concrete. From a structural point of view this gives the...

My reference model isn't quite upto date but there is a small slab edge cantilever at level 2 which then steps out further at Level 03, on the Hotel side we have those beams doing all of the work where on the commercial side its just those corbels one way and beams the other...

The slab edge is stepping out in two directions on the Commercial building, we didn't have this on the hotel. We have corbels on the side of the columns as well as the cantilever beams......it makes a very interesting fixing detail for quite a lot of large diameter bars to interface with each...

No problem, please could you zoom in on the Commercial Level 03 Cantilever beams and Corbels when they start to appear over the coming weeks shown here...much appreciated
