Anyone know what the giant metal tube-like things are that have appeared behind the north west corner? Dropped off by lorries this morning.

I think they are giant metal tubes

Look at the 13:45 shot from yesterday, if it was resting on the step wouldn't the shadow meet the rope

Have a look at the picture I posted above, I have highlighted the rope in red.
its on the ground.

'Soakaway' tanks for stormwater drainage.

I think you will find this is an artists impression not a architects drawing, I mean what is that defender doing playing everybody onside

I think you must be right. If you look at the shadow of the roof over the pitch, it must mean that the sun is in the East (as it is behind the East Stand). The sun is in the east at about 9 o'clock in the morning.

With such an early kick off, no wonder the defender is a bit sleepy.

Well I think it's just hanging in front of the terrace

The same as how the third beam is now up and the guide rope appears to be 'resting' on the third step back, it ain't, it's just hanging in mid air.

Let's agree to differ and wait for Jack Straw's next update fella

I have not noticed any Foul Water sewers being laid, where are they?

Your back !!

NJ, can you answer my question a few pages back (whilst you were on holiday) about the protruding metal plate on the dogs head, its bugging me

The main sewer lines around the stadium are yet to be laid although works will commence shortly behind the East Stand. Sewer runs beneath the East and North stands are completed (out as far as the building) with works currently ongoing to the North Stand area and West Stand Basement.

In addition there has been a sewer diversion constructed behind the East Stand to allow for the concourse and also upgraded a long section of existing sewer on the access pathway past the railway bridge.

Interesting stuff, thanks.

Can we organise a diversion of the sewer pipe to end up in a large tank above the south stand - with a 'press button to open' option on the tank for when our friends from Crystal Palace pay us a visit?

The 'Dogs Tongue' is important as the roof rafters connect to it to transfer the loading through to the foundations below.

Here's a pic taken earlier of the South East Connection from beneath which illustrates.

NJ-what's with the big crane? It's getting bigger. Thought its work was done?

 

[Mr Burns]

It's Crane overload at the moment. So many of them, I can't keep up with it all

yes its an artists impression! after all why would you play football in the morning as the shadow is coming over the east stand . they could have used an artist who knows when games are played.

of course i should have read the rest of the thread

In order to place the West Stand roof rafters the crane had to be extended to reach over the Arch. (there's no space to do it from the back due to the close proximity of the steep embankment to the university.)

Thanks for the info.

Shame you couldn't make it on Monday, Norman.
I understand that it is probably the most tiring day.

Tiring wasn't the word. Mondays are never a good day but I had a very late drinking session on Saturday following a family funeral then had to be up early to trek the M4 and get to Brighton by 7am.

Thanks for the offer though.

 

[Gully]

Just had a quick look on the webcam...if you zoom right up to the maximum it looks like the tunnel walls are now in place...not hard to imagine players running right out from there and onto the pitch.

More rafters just arrived
