North Stand Construction Discussion

[Keeper!]

Need one of those old time chimney sweeps to climb up inside, a small 5 year old would suffice.

Exactly, how the hell are they going to do it?

Beetham Tower is a residential-hotel hybrid and looks stunning.

I’m not sure it looks that great nowadays, didn’t the windows start falling out?!

Can't they loosen the legs and jiggle them about into place whilst the cap is on top of the legs? ;-)

It reminds me of putting an IKEA wardrobe together.

A fucking nightmare.

A fucking nightmare.

With 10% of the parts missing.

 

[remember arthur mann]

I just want to know that when id does fit, how is it bolted up, is there some sort of access hatch?

‘If’ it is a case of it not fitting due to the angles, the only way I can see to secure it is to remove the plates highlighted in yellow. 3 of the 4 legs could then be bolted up. The other half of the cross connections on that leg could also be secured.

How the hell you would support those plates when reattaching them is another matter?!

I think they did. And it also sometimes screeches when the wind blows. But it's still a stunning building. Those are design problems but they don't alter its look.

Sounds like a yoga exercise.

I'm sure CP would give us that snippet of the footage at normal pace, then we can take it to VAR and plot some offside lines on it!

I think if the cap was going to be a huge problem one of the workers would have been taking photos and video so they could show the engineer's

 

[HelloCity]

Obviously we don't know if the cap fits or not atm.
But let's just say the cap doesn't fit.
What the fuck do they do then?
How do they get around that problem?

Make a new cap.

88 videos , 1,348 minutes (22.5 hours).

Filmed a whole lot more, today for example i had nearly 3 hours of footage and only ended up using nearly 40 minutes worth

Right, so I've watched 22.5 hours of the stand being built ;) and that's not even including SSskies vidos. Geez.

Top commitment btw CP and SS.

 

[Coatigan]

Make a new cap.

Or possibly two. I.e in two parts.

Anyone got a 3D printer?

Well there is that.

The Tolerances on that look to be very tight for something so large, never manage that in my factory,
cant make +- 0.5 on something 100mm long sometimes haha

If it’s made to the correct dimensions but just won’t slot into place due to the angles, then it’s a case of removing some of the securing plates in order to clear the restriction.

 

[supercity88]

They probably just got their left and right confused and ended up putting the wrong one on. It will fit the other side no problem.

 

[tailspin747]

The way the build has happened so far, there’s a good chance the first person to pass the stadium today will send a pic with it fully installed. [emoji23]

 

[Alty_Blue]

I still think given the complexity of the cap and the 4 pillars of the quadpod that they would have practised attaching it before they did it for real so high up on the air
