davemclaren Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The new truss makes Tynecastle look a lot more impressive on the train into Haymarket. It stands out a lot more. I used to travel regularly tonprestin and back regularly and ysed to enjoy passing Tynecastle ( sad git ) though it became a very fleeting glimpse once they built the new school.

fireeagle51 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 At the Emirates for example, before kick off and at half time they show goals from previous matches, highlights, interviews with players etc. Adds to the match day experience imoAnd would get the fans hyped up before the big games showing all of the best Goals against the team we are playing. They do this at Etihad Arena/st James park as well Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Does anybody know whether any of the function suites in the new stand, smaller spaces like the Willie Bauld and Robbo Lounge, will be open when the stand opens to fans, or is this the type of fitting out that will be done during the course of next season? I'm not 100% sure on this but my understanding is that none of the function/hospitality suites will be ready when the stand first opens for games. I suspect it'll probably be November or December before any of the new hospitality suites are open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour M Hersh Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 They are plies. Foundation for the structure. Surely not just foundations though.

Tazio Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The addition of large screens depends on whether the trusses have a SWL that can take them. They're heavy things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course what I know about construction can be written on a grain of rice (twice). I am no expert either but a friend put it to me like this. "They are not random, they are in load bearing positions, as the graphic below illustrates. Concrete reinforced with rebar will be poured to create piles to take the load of the structure above. They wont all go to the same depth, some will be cut short if the pile reaches solid rock underneath, as is common with Edinburgh foundations."

kingantti1874 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) The piles will be situated where they are required to bear the load, they will be filled with concrete which is incredibly strong under compression and will be drilled at a depth sufficient to reach a material sufficient to bear the load of the building.

Thanks for that Primrose that makes things a little clearer. I still wonder why some are so thin in comparison to others.
