The Gasman Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Strange to think that the Wheatfield Stand truss was pink for the first few years before it was eventually sun-bleached white. You can see it here from 4:48 The story at the time was that the truss came pre-coated, and that we'd never specified any particular colour. The company phoned the Pie Man, and said they had a range of stock colours available for the coatings, or for an extra cost we could specify a colour, which they'd mix and apply for us. He told them he wasn't prepared to pay for a colour, just to use the stock finish they had that was closest to maroon - and from your video you can see it wasn't that close..!

Bungalow Bill Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Have heard from a source at the council that the Health & Safety Executive are insisting that the wall required to be built for the ethanol at the brewery needs to be more substantial than originally planned. Cost for the wall is an extra ?150K approx. So there is a standoff between HSE and the club. The council are in full support of the club and trying to assist.

trotter Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I don't understand why the ethanol tanks are our problem? Surely it's down to the brewery to make sure they are completely safe for the surrounding area, and if anyone wants to build on their own land and it won't be safe, they should have to make it so? Yes and no. The tanks will have been deemed to be safe for the environment in which they currently live. When we mess around with the stadium, we potentially change the local environment to the extent where the existing protective features may not be enough to provide the same degree of risk reduction (the industry term for what we commonly call 'safety'). So if something was to change external to the distillery, it would be a bit unfair to expect them to have to spend money on something they had/have no control over. In most cases, what happens is the the external developer and the distillery would reach some sort of compromise. What i've seen previously is the developer funding the majority of the new risk reduction measures, but the distiller (in our case) also puts something towards it to get a better system than what is actually needed - in effect future-proofing the site as well.

I suspect that it's not that they are likely to rupture, but accidents can and do happen. It is feasible that an unrelated issue somewhere else on the site could lead to either the tanks catching fire, or leaking and then catching fire. Believe it or not, unpressurised storage tanks such as these are not particularly strong. They are only designed to be thick enough to hold the weight of liquid inside them.

Correct. Surely it is their responsibility to ensure anything on their premises is safe and cannot impact anything if something adverse happens on the distillery premises. And surely they are accountable for their own compliance and adherence with Health & Safety regulations. If things within the distillery are deemed to offer a risk outside their boundaries why are they not getting their own house in order ? Why are they still allowed to operate if it is such a risk to the surrounding area ?

It's utter nonsense in my opinion from HSE. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That isn't true in any way shape or form i'm afraid. HSE look at the cumulative impact of all hazards within the site which may impact anything outside of the fence. What the distillery will do, as part of their CoMAH report (which HSE requires you have) is to determine whatis the maximum effect that an accident may happen. This takes into account things like the prevailing wind direction which ensures that not all areas within a 360 degree radius of the accident will be affected the same way. The above comes from experience because I've written enough CoMAH reports in my time, I've also had to either do, or commission someone else to, the associated risk studies (blast, thermal radiation, toxic gas, etc).

jambo-in-furness Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I'm not an expert, but I thought bund walls were only there to contain all of whatever the contents were, to prevent the same contents from entering drainage systems and if the contents did catch fire, then that wall also contained the fire spread. Therefore, surely the bund wall must already be of sufficient height otherwise they wouldn't have a fire certificate. Away from that, I can remember way back when I was 15 years of age (1963) before the ace of hearts club was built the Hearts squad Occasionally trained on the piece of land where the clubs were to be built, John Cummings taking the training, Cruikshanks Wallace White etc all training there.

Yup, HSE guidance states 110% of the volume of the largest tank, or 25% of the total volume of all tanks within the bund (whichever is larger). I believe the wall in question for Tynecastle is to do with thermal radiation, not keeping the ethanol in the same place.
