Makes sense, not that I know much about engineering, but thanks.

In engineering there is ALWAYS a solution

I've got a spare metal file in my shed if they want to borrow it?

Everything can be done for a price.

There could be queue of Architects at the Populous toilets in the morning all shitting themselves?

It is a maneuvering room issue. Because of the converging angles, and the sequencing.

The plates will go back on and the connection will still be the same to the same size. They'll just do that leg After it has been lowered into place.

For all we know, that may always have been the plan, without the guys on site having it communicated to them, potentially.

I think that is what they have done . Well done Sherlock

Can confirm that they couldn’t get the part on as was and therefore they’ve had to make unplanned adjustments.

 

[ssskies]

You can see that they have cut a piece of the top of the cap bracket when you compare the 2 on ss skies video

Sorry I couldn't get over for a closer view with the cranes being in operation. Hopefully it will fit now. Cheers

They havent cut them have they? Just removed the connecting plates by the looks of it

It looks like at least the two connecting plates being held on by a couple of bolts each have been truncated by one bolt hole? Presuming they are the original plates.

Ahh, maybe not. The holes are offset to each other.

Do you have any idea what the problem was the other day when they lifted the cap piece but brought it down again? Thx
