North Stand Construction Discussion

200%.

Cranes come and go but The Great Northern will be here for ever.

Ric won't let me start a thread but the sooner one starts the better.

The grown ups will then be able to influence a very important subject, whilst the crane and digger spotters carry on walking around with step ladders spotting cranes and diggers !!

I work in the construction game but you'll rarely see me on site. Once it moves off a plan and onto the ground I'm not interested until it's done!

A 'Cranes & Machinery' page may be a better place for the enthusiasts, leaving the main page for comments about the building,seating plans,fan transfers, singing section etc.

A place for everything and everything in its place.

Diggers? Excavators please, lets get our facts right on here

That's why a separate thread is necessary for you experts.

Happily I'm not a crane or excavator expert.....or any kind of expert !!

Bring on The Great Northern !!

I know it’s an artists impression, but those two rectangular sections (circled) would tie in with where the supporting cables for the cablenet would need to route. Those could be the new anchoring points.

If you look at the L05 plan of the skybar area, those locations line up bang on with two service risers that run all the way down though every concourse. But they don't come out through the roof. I would guess those areas circled will have some form of venting for that riser, as that is the only side it can open onto. The anchor points look to be higher up, at the new roof line.

Maybe this is how the cable net will be supported

Could well be, I see the sense in that.

What is it you think you will influence and how, out of interest?
