North Stand Construction Discussion

[Bluemanc100]

Who would be a crane driver? You climb fifty metres or more to the cab, sit still all day with no company apart from radio, have to be precise with the lifts and after a shift climb down steps to find the site is empty and the rest of the guys are in the pub. Respect!

Great money I imagine

Great money I imagine

Considerably better than most of the "rest of the guys", I'm guessing.

 

[Penders1957]

I'm sure their £500 a day balances the scale!

Where do yo get that figure from ?? That’s well over £100k per year ??? Think half of that would be more realistic

Got down to the etihad today, lots done check out the video here. Cheers

How soon do you think it will be till the cables are attached to the caps and the new beams?

 

[eyalluvitt]

Looks like H G Wells’ War of the Worlds all over again

The chances of 115 charges landing on the Etihad were a million to one, they said, but still they came

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

They're really not messing around, are they? A decent spring and summer should see some good progress

did you see the guy who climbed out of his cab and clambered all the way out to the end of his crane jib last week, high above the stadium - total respect all round!

Balls of fucking steel, harness or no harness

Coatigan just reminded me via PM. Thanks.

I'm on the Open Doors event tomorrow at the Etihad, North stand.

There is no onsite tour sadly, but understandable, as it's a very busy construction site, as you all know. However, there is a viewing platform, so I will get some pictures from that vantage point, and I will also do a construction picture roundup.

There is a Q&A session as part of the event, so if you have any questions at all please post them in the thread today. I will write the questions down and pass them on to the (SISK) person doing the Q&A.

Please keep the questions about the construction of the North stand expansion.

Thanks.

Accepting the stand extension won’t be completed and tested until early 2026, will the new roof be in place and the old one be removed before August?

The only reasonable question from me that would get an answer is what is the weight of the capping pieces.

There are quite a few things that interest me, but doubt they would be something they could answer on the spot, or would either.

Do you know if anyone form the design team will be part of the event or just Sisk?

Not sure they'd answer this, but - When are they projecting handover to City? Are they on programme?

Yes. It has to be - there’s no other time to get on the pitch and do the work after pre-season. As soon as the season ends the cranes will be on the pitch to pull the old roof down.

They’re already making decent progress with the new roof and I imagine most trusses will be in place by the end of April/early May. They’ll have 3 months after the season finishes to polish it all off.

Exactly this also, its is why we end the season away and start next season away to give max time possible

Can you ask them when the new roof is expected to be self supporting.

So no chance of asking the construction workers if they’ve heard the result of 115?
