JayTeeJnr Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 When the support goes over the old stand it will really give an impression of how awesome the new one will be when finished. Tynecastle has been massively lopsided for so long it's going to be strange having the main stand the same height as the others. It really is going to look fantastic. I was looking at the plans for the stand today and hadn't appreciated quite how much space there'll be for the lounges and restaurant. I'm sure the pubs nearby will take a bit of a hit but there'll be so much more money being plowed into the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destruction Derby Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I wonder if they will be getting the truss on the other 3 stands re painted or spruced up a wee bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars plastic Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Anyone know when the Truss is meant to be erected? I know nothing of engineering but we only got planning permission a short time ago and no idea how long it would take to construct something that long from reinforced steel. Seem to remember that it would be as soon as January?, possibly during the winter break. Also when the other three stands were constructed I'm assuming large sections were assembled on site? Great to see the old lady in her full glory but shall be FINALLY a great time to let her rest. Think it's the 3rd week in January, mate.

Jamboelite Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Thought this might be useful as a reminder of how the Wheatfield went up Great video not seen that before. A few things i took from the video. It went up very quick considering only 2 builders seem to do it by themselves. The back of the Wheatfield was really close to the old distillery wall when seeing it being constructed. The trust went up in a matter of weeks as there was alot of space im assuming some of it will be done off site this time.

Mr Sifter Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just out of interest, does anyone know where the truss is being manufactured? I'd love to see it being put together. Is it even in Scotland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I would hope we paint the pylons and truss a nice deep shade of maroon at some point.. yeah it's not the most urgent job in the world but would make a big difference to the look of the stadium IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why it was there originally. Do you think there was going to be access/exit to/from the lower section? But why only there? Must have been a plan by the pieman to make the wheatfield the main stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I think the best way to describe the old girl on what is now visible is 'You can see she was a looker in her day but she's had too much surgery etc which has taken its toll' .

If we're using float and not energy saving, soft coat, toughened glass then we are using inferior glass. There is a fair bit of speculation and TBH un-educated ramblings surrounding the glass. Firstly ALL glass is manufactured as Float glass - that is the term for the actual process. The glass units to be installed in the new fa?ade will be toughened Float glass with a Low E coating. The glass units will comply with up to date building standards for safety, acoustics and insulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Toughened glass still needs to be arissed/polished or it breaks when going through the toughening process. Float glass is easily breakable so I doubt we will use that in the new stand. I'd also imagine we will use Pilks 'K' self cleaning glass to save on costs. You obviously know a bit about glass - but not too much..... Your first comment is correct, the others are not. As I said previously, all glass is manufactured as Float glass, which can then be toughened, as it will be on the new fa?ade. Pilks K glass is a coated glass for added insulation purposes - this will be installed on the new fa?ade. The self cleaning glass you refer to is Pilks 'Activ' glass - this is an expensive option and not in the current budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
