North Stand Construction Discussion

If you are talking about the two wings, they are the exact same height. The office and the hotel are both just under 34m to top of parapet.
The hotel has a stepped one storey lower on the side leg, and the 'cut-away' above the screens is different on the two, but the overall height of the main wing is identical.
I don't think people appreciate how complex the roof geometry is here. Particularly around the two towers, skybar and the main stand roof.
I've noticed it a while back, the different bitty steps and junctions that will all need tied up and weatherproofed. For example the main curve of the roof extends over the skybar projection, but is interrupted by the flat bits of the towers. Which then by basic geometry arent consistent on all sides as thet meets a curve. Which also slopes! Always thought they would have tried absorb that into the curve. And all that before you get to the steps in roof to the rear blocks.
You are not kidding!! The most complex detailed part to reinforce was the podium slab, falling in 2 directions in places, scratched my head on that one for a few days......I don't think people appreciate how complex the roof geometry is here.

They have started assebling the skybar truss, which will be lifted in one piece to bridge the tops of the two towers. They can't do that till the west tower is fully connected to the ground, but looks like they are getting ready to do it very quickly after that though.

It will be sad If Colin misses the lift of the truss !!They have started assebling the skybar truss, which will be lifted in one piece to bridge the tops of teh two towers.

Nice.
Wasn’t sure if it was that or just another piece of the west tower.
Think the positioning and the props below and around it look like it is that.Nice.
