North Stand Construction Discussion

Another full page article in The Times today regarding Utd’s proposed stadium. Hardly seen anything about our developments in the media from the day it was announced to where we are up to now.

Do we have a PR team ? Why aren’t journalists being invited to look around - show the world what is being built ??
 
Great vid CP. The whole skybar 'cage' now seems complete, including that missing horizontal that was intriguing me. I might have to put it down to simply being missed out while it was on the ground and rather than delaying the big lift, added later on. Also now pretty clear to see how it curves in both directions.

Other small things worth noticing, the first waterproofing layer has started on the east end of the hotel roof. The west tower has had the platform scaffolding around the cable anchor removed and this clamp arrangement is now much more obvious. The east tower is still there but looks like they have started dismantling it. The splice connection plates on the sky bar truss have not yet been coated, I would assume due to the recent temperatures, as below 5deg, the intumescent won't stick to the steel. There seem to be two additional site cabins added within the stand itself either end of the level the previous boxes were. With more going on in there in terms of connections. The eastern side of the terracing seems to be going faster than the west. The office block moving at pace, again there is a temperature below which concrete won't pour, so that might go slower than the hotel did over the winter months.

The more this build progresses the more confused I am by the sample panel , the panel shows facework to both sides ?? I understand the bwk. Is only to the hotel ground floor but you can now see blockwork appearing ??

As I see it, the layer at the back, with the corbelling I think is a sample of the the gable ends. The one at the front will be facing the square. Although as pointed out before, the approval is for the piers to he angled to match the fins rather than straight, but still shows the material and colour. The blockwork that will appear in site will be the inner layer which wont be visible.

Thanks coatigan , so a sample panel that doesn’t actually show what’s going to be built, and needs interpretation ? Does that not mean the sample is not representative ? Still confused ☹️☹️
 
Off topic, but relates to the hotel, and bodes well for strong demand and occupancy rates.

A three-storey upward extension providing an additional 54 rooms is proposed at the Atkinson Street building.

KE Hotels has submitted an application to Manchester City Council to make Moxy Manchester bigger, citing strong demand and high occupancy rates since the hotel opened in 2021.

Where are the turnstiles for the new North Stand? If they’re not at either side of the new fanzone won’t the queues to get into the stand interfere with the fanzone area?
