North Stand Construction Discussion

[wolfie1988]

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.

They are certainly getting through some work!

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

You can see the uprights on the opposite side above the terracing popping up now through the truss. This will fly up now the that piece has unlocked a lot.

Deffo starting to get a sense of what it maybe like there on a match day. Good pic.

Guess the next interestung bit of action to look out for when the skybar is fully built, would be when they position the cherry pickers on top of the two towers to build the quadpod supports.

Would the next step be the longitudinal members at the front of the Skybar?

CP Overview - I bet your drone can’t get this high…

I assumed these would be built on the ground and fitted as one piece , then the cherry picker used to transfer the cables ?? Or even a cradle on the end of the tower crane jib , whatever but I’m glad I’m not doing it !!

Worth noting that these weren’t implemented until the steel roof sections were nearly completed with the South Stand build. Could obviously happen in reverse this time round though.



For now they’ll be looking to complete the sky bar/hotel box, terracing and connecting floors as these require materials to be lifted in by the crane - which will be obstructed once the roof starts.

Yea that's why I said when the skybar is built ;)

 

[HelloCity]

Just been past. That reverse upper middle section which has been added to the frame is huge. Images don’t do the scale justice at times.

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

It will be officially opened by Kun & Daveed as 'The 93.20 Stand'.

The plans/arrangements for the occasional/match are fantastic !!

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.

Rodders is going to be doing flying circuits of the stadium singing " who the fuck is vini junior " before doing a 30 metre knee slide in front of the Colin Bell stand.

I don’t particularly mind heights but fuck that!

Do you know how many levels of food/ beer outlets there will be.
I'm guessing the original on level one plus 3 more levels for the new stand before the hotel, sky bar etc.
If yes that's 4 in total compared to the the South Stand with 3, one for each tier.No doubt that's where corporate comes into it?

@ 3 mins does for me.

I would want a parachute.

I would want a parachute.

Certainly an inertia harness. Like he said, " One false move and you're DEAD"!

Yeah I assume it will be a combination of crane in place and then join/check from a mewp on the tower.

Think the point is more that it is so high up that it can't be reached from any cradle off the ground.

Yeah fair reminder, no idea of the sequence tbf. It is a bit of a different arrangement as well, probably won't know till we see it happen.

Falling never killed anyone
it's when you hit the floor that does the damage
