Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

was told by a friend working on this that the walls are crumbling due to the water collecting on the top of the building.

Walls need replacing and a real problem for the planned opening.
Staggering that they have built a multi million pound building in the Rainy City and not accounted for water gathering
 
I believe this is just Chinese whispers. Its highly unlikely given the design and planning of a building of this scale these days.

Can't see him lying about it, as its him changing his job to work on this site. (currently working on the massive transport hub redevelopment in Stockport)

Starting this contract in a few weeks so soon see if he's lying or not.

I didn't mean he was lying, just stories get changed as they get told sometimes. What im trying to say is that having been involved in the construction of numerous large buildings over the past 30 years, albeit at the very early stages of foundation design. I have a good idea of the level of work and detail that goes into these projects , and to have to rebuild walls or whatever due to water ingress would be a massive failing in the design and construction process. I'm not saying these sorts of things don't happen but they are extremely rare.
 
Peel Holdings are doing a great job regards leisure offering at Trafford City. On top of Therme Manchester, Inland Surf, which is now going forward with Tartan Leisure, there are now proposing an Ice rink Peel certainly have squeezed any leisure proposal planned for the Collar site.

A three-acre site next to Chill Factore and iFLY is to be redeveloped by ICITIES, providing another boost the area’s growing leisure offer.

ICITIES’ TraffordCity ice arena – which will be operated by Planet Ice following the signing of a pre-let – will be constructed close to two other major leisure attractions due to come forward over the next couple of years – the £250m Therme wellbeing resort and Tartan Leisure’s inland surf park.

Europe's biggest indoor climbing wall is opening in Wythenshawe.

Yorkshire Climbing Company, which operates Depot Climbing at Trafford Park, has taken almost 51,000 sq ft at Southmoor Industrial Estate and plans to invest £5m, creating its second Greater Manchester venue.

The Wythenshawe facility will boast what is being billed as Europe’s largest indoor climbing wall.

It's never going to open on time in April this year anyway! Talking to a workman the other day and he said there miles behind on it due to problems getting materials through from Europe, discussion on working throught the night have already taken place !
