Site visit.(sadly only 2 pictures)

A detailed site visit to MPB Structures, Paul Orr showing us around the site at the Etihad Stadium works.

Apologies for going off topic, which I do every now and again. :-/

I found this interesting.

Can somebody overlay the North stand (rake) on top of Everton’s new home end and the KOP, just to see the comparison, if it can be done properly?

Thanks.

Not a bad idea, and a worthwhile comparison imo. Once I find the others, might do it. At some point. Might even throw the new spursy stand into it for reference.

Great way the pictures show the sheer size of the project.

Thanks Coatigan. :-)

Don't think it will be that quick an excersise. They will need to connect all the junctions, align and test, then remove the props. A couple large mobile cranes will appear on site beforehand. The rate they are have been going with the towers, looks like at least a week if not two away from connecting it, assuming the truss is built at the same time.

Again , apologies in advance for what may be a stupid question !you mention mobile cranes , but the truss is currently held vertical by one of the tower cranes so no problem with reach , so is it the lifting capacity of the tower cranes that is not sufficient ??

Don't really know the full details, I am part guessing, part going off what I've seen. But I think it will be a case of keeping it steady and controlling the swing of it, more than the weight as such. And also distributing it over such a length.

I don't think it is currently held vertical by the crane, I think that is helping it, but it is mostly kept upright by the temporary props you see at each node. And partly by its own connections. Once that is off the ground and in the air, one big peice to control.

This is the type of mobile crane they have shown fyi, I assume in addition to the large tower crane.

that's the sort of Lego you need in the north stand construction thread (It's remote controlled and HUGE)

Is the extended NSL2 going to have the same rake as the existing tier?

Seems that way. It’s not very steep and less steep than SSL3.
