How are they getting that crane out the stadium?

Can I mind yer crane mate ?

How are they getting that crane out the stadium?

Put a number 9 on it and play it centre forward

How are they getting that crane out the stadium?

They shall bring in a larger crane and lift it out

How are they getting that crane out the stadium?

With sand

How are they getting that crane out the stadium?

Loads of balloons, or they could just cut the bottom 7ft off it so the players can run underneath it.

It’s going to be difficult, I have been trying to work it out all day on my replica.

Scale wise your replica is slightly wrong. Your land mass is far far bigger than our dock.

Yours has 2 traffic cones, ours can only fit 1
Yours has 3 fellas working, ours just has Dan Meis doing all the jobs
The corner of your South Stand structure looks perfectly aligned and ready for the North stand corner. Our South stand corner has been built the wrong way and is facing the utilities building behind it

If the players tunnel is even only as big as the Goodison one, it won't be a problem. We managed to get that masssive fat balloonheaded Spanish waiter through that, a simple crane won't be too much trouble.

Probably a similar process to how Spuds did it

@Yid4life @RobSpurs
Sure these 2 gentlemen will be happy to give you info as to how that panned out

Spurs did it based on your disposable income. If you have a grand, you get a good seat, £1200 a better one and £1500 even nicer. £2200 gets you corporate-lite.

Seriously, I think they gave existing Season Ticket holders first choice based on your loyalty points and then worked their way down to members.

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF BRAMLEY-MOORE DOCK​

As the initial overground structure emerges from newly-laid foundations at Bramley-Moore Dock, focus turns to the framework of Everton’s iconic new home.
Work on all four corners of the 52,888-seater stadium will soon offer a first real glimpse of the scale of the project.
And as construction enters a new phase, years of advance planning on a pioneering ‘digital build’ is about to come to fruition.
Everton’s stadium is being pieced together using a technologically advanced method known as Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).
Work has begun to manufacture the 11,000 pre-cast concrete components which will form the new stadium’s superstructure and internal bowl. Many of these will come from Laing O’Rourke’s specialist factory in Nottinghamshire, and be transported to site for just-in-time assembly.
By adopting modern methods of construction based on off-site manufacturing, and meticulously planning production schedules in advance, Laing O’Rourke’s technical team has been able to use less cement in the concrete mixes for these components and so reduce the overall embodied carbon in the stadium build.
These manufactured building blocks will arrive on site in a pre-determined order and effectively be slotted together utilising 3D modelling, in turn forming the floors, walls, and supporting pillars in preparation for the steel skeleton and brickwork skin.
Ben Townsley, Senior Project Manager at Laing O’Rourke, explained: “In many ways, it’s a huge complex assembly, rather than traditional construction.
“Concrete is something that has been around since Roman times, but the way in which we are manufacturing it, is pioneering.
“In this case, thousands of the building’s components are being precast in our manufacturing facility, which we’ve had now for over 10 years.
“We take the building design, and manufacture bespoke products. Traditionally, we wouldn’t complete the design for the concrete frame until maybe the end of this year, but what we’ve had to do in this instance is design the whole frame much earlier in the process – we actually did it last year.
“The precast concrete elements are all manufactured off-site, before being assembled on-site. This process takes a lot of the potential quality and safety issues away from the work face and into a more controlled environment which minimises waste and improves sustainability.
“Also, rather than needing heavy labour on site to set up the temporary works for pouring the concrete; when you take it away and put it on an assembly line, you are mostly left with on site is lifting and crane work to install the units.”
The precast units have also been designed to speed up the subsequent installation of wiring and plumbing, by planning them into the 3D modelling.
Ben, who revealed the DfMA process will be on average 30% quicker than traditional construction, added: “It takes a huge amount of up-front design resource to coordinate this.
“The services are not actually cast into the concrete elements, but the voids need to be cast into the structure so the wiring and plumbing can be installed.
“That sounds simple, but it’s an incredibly complex process. You can imagine the number of different pipes and wires within a building of this magnitude and all that has been designed using 3D modelling.
“That 3D environment is a big part of the pioneering aspect. We call this the ‘digital build’, where our engineers, who would normally be working on-site in the mud, have been trained up-front in 3D modelling.
“They’ve taken structural engineers’ designs and re-drawn the whole building in a 3D environment.
“Using this method establishes all the clashes, complications and problems you might normally encounter before you get to site, which allows them to be resolved before you even start.
“We’ve used the method before on other structures, but this is the first time we have done it to this scale, and that means we can give the people on site – the joiners and steelfixers who are actually building the stadium – 3D models on tablets, rather than a piece of paper.
“When you transition into this 3D world it is a huge leap that we’ve taken to modernise the industry, but I am completely convinced this is the right way to go.
“We have to become more efficient, increase productivity and provide certainty for our clients, and this is the way to do it.”

This is gonna be a giant Lego set.

Groundbreaking engineering on a build this size & scale.
Another Everton 1st !

Fascinating stuff.

The digital model stuff has been going on for years, it's nothing new really. Nor is the offsite manufacture, again, that was done years ago, even further back if you consider prefab housing. Also on this scale, I remember doing a design for the SECC in Scotland, and much of that was to be prefab'd and lifted in on-site. DfMA has been happening with services for probably 15 years now, full service risers lifted in on site after being transported from the facility and service modules lifted up to ceilings to complete entire floor installs.

Still, its all really good stuff.

In terms of the ST seats, I would hope that they effectively lift up the GP seating plan and lay it over the top of the BMD plan. Then once the seat has been allocated, you have the chance to move if you wish. After that point, then they open up the next tranche of ST sales. The people I sit with and around are part of my match going experience, and I wouldn't want to lose that.

I'm just hoping I get an aisle seat again with having a weak bladder and that ?
