I asked about that on ATPO. Very strong concrete was their answer
NJ has since elaborated and said some of the roof weight taken by the front of the north and south stands.

In the mist this morning that far doghead looks more like a baby bear

Well spotted. I think the big day is likely to be Friday as the crane needs to untangled and raised - which according to NJ takes a whole day. JS could be in for a spectacular morning on Friday.
Friday morning is definately when this will happen I have crane company contacts
if anyone actually wants any crane spec information then I can gladly post this (its quite boring)
OK, can you advise me lifting capabilities on a telescopic boom for a Liebherr LTM1250/1
Thanks

Don't know if the northern dogs head is quite finnished yet. Just driven past and the shuttering is still up around the top bit !!!

10:00 on the webcam show concrete going in so guessing that's the last bit.

Is there a special bracket for the crane operator to have a car number plate in his cab giving his nickname or does he have to improvise.
Is there a standard FM radio or is there a CD player with bluetooth ability for ipods.

As long as the weather holds off so that painting can be completed, it'll be Friday.
I'll try and keep everyone posted in advance

Many thanks NJ. Roughly how long will it take to put up the 3 sections? Are we talking hours or days?

There are a lot of variables which will determine how quickly it gets completed. The weather forecast will play a big part as even moderate winds will stop the lift.
Originally it was programmed to lift every other day with setting up on the days between - roughly 5 days
It may well run like clockwork and be put in place a lot quicker, we'll have to see how things go.

Really looking forward to seeing the arch being erected and that will be an early christmas present to us all.
What can we expect in the early part of the new year when you have all returned from a well deserved xmas break.
Will it be the North And West Stand steel erection,the terracing to the South Stand or will you be starting the East Stanad roof?
Sorry to ask but just curious.

The main focus will be on the basement area and foundations for the West Stand as steel erecting is programmed for February.
