Another Robbo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 What is happening with the wall being built at the distillery? Has that been started yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I assume from the pictures that in this drawing wall #3 is the old back wall of the old main? #3 are the (new) steel columns that are currently sitting inches away from the old brick fa?ade (which is soon to be demolished).

Fxxx the SPFL Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Passed in a taxi , got the driver to slow down so I could have a look... If it was Mr Sifter's taxi he would have stopped for you (but still kept the meter running) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poseidon Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 My mate has just delivered a load of steel in the last wee while. He took a couple of decent photos, I'll try and get them on here later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamborich Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It's where these beams are positioned on the plans. Demolition going to be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboelite Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Demolition going to be interesting Not really its a piece of p$?" in comparison to other demolitions. I've been watching them demolish Porty High by taking out half floors and sections without the whole thing coming down which in itself is impressive so knocking down what in essence will be a giant wall from that side wont give them grief. These boys know what they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC86 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It's where these beams are positioned on the plans. I thought that the beams were actually attached to the wall, didn't realise they are just right up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Order Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just wait until some folk see the pink steel, the seethe will be epic. I bet at least one of the usual Kickback types has a breakdown over it. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan sees the erection of the structural steel and concrete behind the Main Stand commencing on 10th April, with a target for completion of the end of May 2017. Steel has now arrived on site and you will shortly see the building start to emerge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Was expecting to see a wee bit more progress to be honest BB. It seems to take two working days to complete a section at a time, going by the roof support trusses. It might take longer than that once we get to the curvy fa?ade bit which will make the building even more 'deep' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC86 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 300mm off to be precise. Well, not entirely as the old stand isn't plum. Makes sense. I had read somewhere that some off the old stand was being used in the new one, so just assumed that they were attached. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayTeeJnr Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks Mr Sifter, kila and all the others for pictures and updates. Sitting at Dubai Airport enjoying seeing the progress. Looking forward to the new stand taking shape. I guess we won't get to see too much of the old stand coming down, other than pictures the club release.
