North Stand Construction Discussion

[Coatigan]

I know it would have been cool to see this massive piece hanging in mid air and being lifted up, but misisng out on coinciding this should not distract from the milestone this is. It is an exciting and significant element that unlocks a lot now, and it is great we got to see the footage the, pictures and the pace of it with what did get captured. Credit to jrb and CP.

The crane is still there tonight.

You can see there that they have already started the floor pieces to the back of the stand. In the middle, either side of the crane vertical. I pointed that out in your pics from couple days ago they were on the ground ready to go.

Remember there are two storeys within that bridge. The 10 bedrooms onto the pitch, and the skybar above.

Put a few shims in it. In saying that, it's exactly what they were doing when Colin left.

Shouldn’t they equalise it out on each side, they seem to have just bolted up the right hand side without any bearer plates?

It's not a watch!

Is it still not taking some of the load?

I am sure it will stay until they have got all the nuts, bolts and fishplates bolted together.

 

[Chris Holmes]

Here you go

It got a bit tense with the nuts and bolts action around the battery change time, but we needn't have worried. After a swift re-powering of the drone, it was back to the nuts and bolts bodge job.

Great videos, always look forward to you update, especially as it will seem like a big change when we see the progress live before the Spurs game.

The should present Rodders his Ballon D'Or high up in those cherry pickers just as the final bolt goes in.

Those floor beams in the middle will help brace it too.

Screwfix will have a few washers and bolts to sort this.

115mm short is neither here nor there, expanding foam and jobs a good un,

Remarkable precision considering the size of the gap I guess that it’s designed with all the tolerance stacks to have a gap, easy to add the packers rather that cut it and weld

 

[toffee balls]

It'll be rite

Pretty sure they will now have to use F.A.F. Fixings to put that right.

 

[jimharri]

I'll raise you....

What a day it’s been!

Pep will be the City Manager when the new North stand opens and is full of City fans.

And the lift happened today.

The opening should feature a picture of Khaldoon and Pep on top of the roof ring of the sky-walk above the stand.

Morning! Looks like the supporting crane has now been removed and the structure is now fully secured to the towers.

Your commitment to the cause is amasing jrb, thank you.

The crane was still supporting the steel frame last night when I came back from town at 5pm. The crane workers and construction workers had gone home.
