North Stand Construction Discussion

[Gordyola]

Is the new roof going to be extended forwards to create the same cover as the existing roof. If so I assume this will be some lightweight clear material. It just looks odd at the moment being so shallow.

There are still more to be added to the roof trusses this maybe because the weight of them was at the limit of the cranes so, once the pitch side site is ready they will add the extensions the cladding is translucent to aid grass growth

Another great video - thanks @ssskies. I reckon they will be itching to get on the pitch after the final whistle blows on Tuesday night (whilst KDB is still doing his lap of honour). If you can get down early morning on Wednesday 21st the old roof will probably already be being removed.

They need to get the pitch protection sort first then the cranes in the cladding will be first off before they remove the trusses so don’t see much happening to the actual roof for a day or so

They’re wheeling the stand forward.

Is this now the modern day Clarkie?

Thanks Alty_Blue I will be there at some point on the Wednesday just not sure if it will be first thing, or later that evening. Definitely get a look around and see what's happening. Cheers

Sprinkler tank room.

Impressive how far out they have it. And how gridded it is internally, for a plant/tank room!

Not that impressive how prominent a location it is in, with all that land around.

Presumably they have gone with a mist system, given where it is?

Sprinkler tank room.

I also wonder if the planners actually realise it is there btw. There is almost next to no detail on it, and in all the 98 documents and drawings, the only place i've seen that actually notes it is the landscape layout. And even then it gives no detail on what it is clad in, the height, what it looks like etc. Unless the planners have inserted a condition that requires further detail for it (can't be arsed reading back through all 57 of them), they could literally make it anything they want to. Not an insignificant little thing either, on many sites it might well be a contentious wee item.

Edit, couldnt resist, checked back through the conditions, nothing specifically covering the tank enclosure. You could argue it could be covered being part of the general materials condidion, but that has been discharged already without any mention of the tank room. They could as well clad that enclosure in marshmallows for all anyone would be able to know!

Forgive my lack of knowledge on hotels and sprinkler systems , but if it is connected to sprinklers why so far away from the hotel ???

So it doesn’t catch fire?

Technology has advanced so far, that gone are the days a giant sprinker tank had to be on top of the building, and then all the structure that goes with that. They can have them a fair distance from buildings now, and on the ground pumped up to the top floor. In this case as high as 10 storeys. Mind you, this is probably the furthest I have seen yet, in terms of distance from the buildings.

This mornings look around, sorry if its things you have already seen, its a bit of a catch up visit after nearly a month away

What’s happening with this supposed wrong way round beam?? They either haven’t noticed, or it’s correct??

Surely it is correct, they seem to know what they are doing.

A look around the stadium on the final home game of the season.

@ssskies Thanks for that today - there will be lots of changes coming over the next six weeks - hope you have scheduled in some regular visits to see the old roof coming off and the new roof being extended out.
