Buffalo Bill Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Where can you see that? The steel on the far left. You can see it's the start of the curve, at and angle and slightly detached from the main framework. .

So it is. You can tell by the cross beams lower down the frame not being level with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Just taken these. They show that although there's been no real progress on the pitchside side of the frame, they've obviously been building out the way towards McLeod Street... Never really considered in what way exactly they'd put the frame up. Suppose I thought they'd build right along the pitch side first, then out towards McLeod Street. Obviously that's not the case though... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I could be way off the mark Mr Sifter but I got the impression the last thing they would deal with would be the side actually facing the playing surface. I'm not sure how it was done at Liverpool, but in our case it is a whole brand new front end that is going in, on which the seats will then be installed. I have it in my mind that the front section will be constructed off site, and then possibly be brought onto site and dropped (not from a great height) into place in sections, or something along those lines. I could be talking , oops writing absolute pish mind you. Edited April 21, 2017 by portobellojambo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way you can see how quick the sections go in once foundations have been poured/piling etc. It's maybe the case that this will be the delay (foundations and piling) in finalising the front steel sections taking us into June or so.

You'll get a good idea of it from the photos of the wheatfield being built from earlier in the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamborello Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 From what I'd read previously we are using some of the existing steel frame from the main stand, as despite its age it is still in good condition, and is at the same height as the concourse level, so hopefully no more foundations to be put in place? I heard this a while ago so these plans may have changed, can any of the itk guys confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamtartan74 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Doesn't take long to drop the prefab's in & bolt them into place, fastening the seats is the tedious business tbh. [emoji1]. All 3 stands were done the same way.. brilliant pic, brings back memories of being a young teenager and visiting my grandparents in Balgreen I would walk to Gorgie and actually be able to get on site when the stands were getting built, no h&s back then tut tut.

jamtartan74 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 We lived in Gorgie during the builds & I went in most days to watch & take 35mm pics back then. Used to see dugs running about on the pitch too. Happy days. [emoji1] it was great, I was about 13/14 and always remember being surprised how easy it was to go inside the ground during construction without being told off by security or anyone for that matter, could literally get on the pitch and walk around the half built stands no problem, great memories.
