Will continued snow delay the Amex?

If the snow continues could it distrupt the building schedule?

I doubt it very much however spell check is always available

 

[Everest]

I wouldn't have thought so.
Most of the work in now inside the stands

 

[loco61]

should be ok as i think i spotted a roof over much of the building site,

need a bit of sun at some stage though to help the grass grow

These spells of bad weather never usually last all that long and I'd imagine they allow for a certain amount of delay days in the schedule

have a look on the webcam there working as normal, moving those piles of dirt away and working on stands, there only snow on the floor so lots can still be done

Only is it stays around until late spring next year.

I mentioned a while ago that I didn't want any snow to ensure there are no problems are Falmer. People quite rightly told me off for being over-dramatic, but the main issues would be the workers getting there. Shouldn't be anywhere near enough disruption to delay it though **fingers crossed**

No... Martin Perry has often said that bad winter weather was taken into account..

Dont many of the workers live on site

It could delay things over a continuous period of time - a contract period can only allow for a certain amount of inclement weather, and any 'force majeure' i.e act of God, allows the contractor to apply for an extension of time. Physically you cannot lay bricks or blocks at 5 deg or below (although technically you can at 3 deg if the temperature is rising). The biggest delay caused on a site this big is probably Health & Safety i.e. not being able to see trip hazards, risks of slipping etc. etc. That said, at this stage the contractor should be able to juggle his programme enough to ensure much of the work is happening internally as others have said.

I imagine they had 'Winter' marked in the diary, yes.

They look busy to me.

Not sure actually?

 

[beorhthelm]

cold usualy affects setting concrete/cement, and workers getting to site. dont think either is an issue now.

There well hard? Is he talking about a fictional dog? There well hard? A concrete well? Oh 'they are' well hard. Gotcha.
