North Stand Construction Discussion

I'm assuming that the new roof will be going up during the summer. Any specific timeframe for that? July, maybe?

 

[Stelea]

I take it the roof is still to be extended forward by bolting on purlins?

They will be starting the day after the Bournemouth match.

They're at that stage now? Ready for the new roof?

Are we talking starting or completion ??

The new roof is already on, well a large chunk of it. Just got to finish adding the panels and put the front part of the beams on.

They’ll start removing the old roof as soon as the season finishes. According to some on here it sounds like they’ll start taking the panelling off before the Bournemouth game.

It needs to be wheeled forward into position.

Cheers. Obviously, I haven't noticed it.

A really good drone shot would be from the back of the CFA where the small grey arrow shaped storage building is located. You'll get the CFA, the Joie stadium, and the Etihad stadium all lined up in a row.(as shown in the picture) It's easy to drive around the CFA site, and to park up around there. There's a small grassy hill which is a decent vantage point, if my memory serves me well? When the CFA was being constructed I took quite a few pictures from that location.

PS. APS use a plane when taking aerial pictures.

I’m sure the CFA building were intentionally lined-up in such a way from the ground maintenance building onwards towards the stadium

Easy to miss.

As a complete layman on this I'm a bit surprised they haven't craned the seats and safe standing stuff up there before they start filling the roof in.
Looks more difficult to get everything up there now but sure they know what they are doing
Interested in any views on this.

I think they think they have a plan.

I would imagine they would want the work area clear to finish off the roof.

Cracking on during the good weather and light Summer evenings. A great time to catch up if Sisk are behind schedule on construction?

This has always been the plan, they’ll more than likely be 24 hour working at some point over the next 3 months.

My guess is the same , time is money and if they want it open sooner I guess working late is the way to achieve that

When is the next video due?

A video later today "HelloCity" cheers

Jrb you wouldn't have a postcode for that location or road name and I can try and do that. Cheers
