North Stand Construction Discussion

[Kink Lad Cee]

can't believe they'd put it up the wrong way round, what does the equivalent on the other side of the stand look like?

The North West side of the roof has the upstands but there aren't any on the North East side:



They may be nothing to do with the Rooftop Walk as the route is shown parallel with the roof beams in the Design and Access Statement. Maybe they've tweaked the design.

It would be nice to see the spires illuminated laser blue as a landmark feature ..our own "twin towers" if you will ;)

Aren't they too far back to be related to the roofwalk?

Edit: they don't appear to be anywhere close to it looking at a top down view, as they're the wrong side of the cable connections by the looks.

More tensioners on their way up today. Think there was 2 to go if you look at @ssskies video last night so I'd suspect they may get them both up today!

They have had brilliant weather for building, they must be counting their blessings

They'd probably rather bank it all for the off-season, if they had the choice

Pity it wasn’t like this when the roof to the hotel was being put on. There was standing water under the membrane in some areas.

Off season starts next Wednesday doesn’t it??

Stunning flight this week @ssskies - amazing detail!

I think that one of the purlins has been installed the wrong way round. The top surface of the upstands which will take the skywalk platform are all parallel apart from this one. I think it needs rotating through 180°

You must be well good at your job to be able to notice that.

Credit to you ha.

Yes was just hanging around with a man stoping it from swinging , think they must of just done a cable

The Rusty Beam should erected where the B of the Bang used to be, and named B of the North Stand Beam.

Amazon how they calculate the exact length of each cable. If a cable is out by a few mil it’s not as though you can stretch it to fit!

Can you get them next day with Prime?

Any thoughts why one of the hotel gables is built win shaftwall and one in blockwork?

Which is which as I’m thinking noise or fire retention?

Both crossed my mind, but both gables are miles away from their boundaries for fire. The blockwork is to the Alan Turning Way side, but again the distance and it being a gable with any form of an external wall should be more than enough to deal with the traffic, particularly with a screen on top of that as well.

The one facing Alan Turing way has really baffled me ! Especially as you can see concrete blocks waiting stacked inside ! As someone who worked 40 years in the building trade I’m completely confused , plus the one facing the co op arena is still unfinished not good for my OCD (-;

I've seen inner leaves built that way from the inside. But only when there is no space for access etc. They've got loads of space. Avoided scaffolding on both gables, but the two being different has always had me a bit curious.
