Ev's Amex Morning Update - 8 March 11

[Everest]

Not much different from yesterday, hence only 2 pics.
One noticeable thing though is shuttering going up by the lift shaft ready for casting the walls by the steps from the coach park.

Don't really get the lift. Why not just put a slope in ?

it does seem a little odd, as if theres a fire anywhere on the site I bet H&S will deem the lift not usable, therefore a slope would've been much better. Obviously not a direct straight down the hill slope though, poor wheelers will be flying into the stadium at breakneck speeds!

Because this is the Amex.
How many stadia have a lift rather than a plain slope?

There's a slope the other end of the west stand anyway. Let them use that if the lift is out of service.

It would be a very steep slope.

I would guess under the Disabled Access laws a slope has to be a maximum gradient which could end up starting in the middle of the coach park

Edit: Here you go

Pedestrian ramps should also be provided; they should be short, preferably with gradients no steeper than 5% but in
any case should not exceed 8%.

aahh but then a Glass Bridge to the Stadium with a lift inside would've been more befitting the Bloom money spending way surely? It'd have lights on it and EVERYTHING....awesome!

But the bridge would have to join up with the south stand. Can't have that.

But thats where the wheelchair viewing platform is
