North Stand Construction Discussion

Could be, I've been wondering for awhile how that works. It may explain the odd vertical end supports with the 2 yellow temporary connections, it'll be interesting to see what happens. Would make a great video maybe but it could be a long job.

Usually done by controlled lowering with an interlinked hydraulic jacking system.

I thought they might take the opportunity to do something right around the stadium and Joe Mercer Way but perhaps not.

They probably will, but there is still work to be done on the canal side of the arena with the new retail and restaurants ,so any resurfacing of JMW will probbably happen when that's all done.

North Stand Construction Discussion

The continuation of the frame down the side of the offices now has some of the window frame installed: The compression / tension rods will be installed soon I'm guessing. Even though they're about Ø80mm they certainly do flex. I was trying to work out why just one roof beam had pairs of what...

One wonders if the temporary yellow supports and the yellow blocks on the end support will be removed when the cables all fixed ?
Looks to me like the cables are not fully tightened and that when they take those yellow pieces out that’s how they will do it ?

What about the GA+ seats at the front of NSL2?

At the start of next season? ;-)
 
Stunning flight this week @ssskies - amazing detail!

I think that one of the purlins has been installed the wrong way round. The top surface of the upstands which will take the skywalk platform are all parallel apart from this one. I think it needs rotating through 180°

can't believe they'd put it up the wrong way round, what does the equivalent on the other side of the stand look like?

The North West side of the roof has the upstands but there aren't any on the North East side:

They may be nothing to do with the Rooftop Walk as the route is shown parallel with the roof beams in the Design and Access Statement. Maybe they've tweaked the design.

Aren't they too far back to be related to the roofwalk?
