North Stand Construction Discussion

[Kink Lad Cee]

I'm with DiscoSteve on this one. The cylinders align with new rainwater ducts coming down from the roof. They'll probably be wrapped in something more elaborate to finish them off.

Seems slightly different to what they've done on the South Stand

Pretty much exactly the same. The outer ones match the position of the cells in the photo, and access to them.

Which is drainage. As others have said.

Edit, apologies if that reads as arsey reading it back, was a rushed post, not meant to be.

Apologies for only just posting the pictures.

The pictures were taken on Sunday morning.

Slightly different today.

4 sets of pictures over 4 posts.

1. Left side of the construction site.
2. Hotel and centre of the construction site.
3. Right side of the construction site.
4. Wide angle pictures.(from the camera phone)

As you can see, the replacement sail/fins look exactly the same as the other sails/fins that were removed.

I've gone a bit OTT with the Hotel pictures.

As you can see from the pictures the 8th and final concrete floor is not far from completion.

The mast climbing platforms are starting to be erected.

Have you not heard?
6000 migrent workers have died building this stand. Recruitment is slow.

Should be an interesting week on site, there is some focus on the Sky bar structure with some bits being lifted up this week.

Great pictures JRB.

I think the hotel floors go G, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

So they are currently on floor 7 and will have just one more floor after that.

How big is the hotel ? compared to others etc ?

Don't think so, but could be wrong. I am not flammable.
