Wouldn’t it be great if we had a rendering so we all knew for sure?

That might be why we haven't seen a rendering. They probably don't want the negative pub.

Quick update:

I believe they have installed a large number of pieces of the corrugated grey metal pieces on the roof. Most were put on the far west edge of the roof, behind the tension ring and therefore cannot be seen from the Lawrinson camera.

You can see at least three of them fairly clearly out in the open. They don't appear to have been attached lined up to the underlying steel. I am hoping they are there to support nicer metal panels like the ones ...

I think some triangular roof panels are visible from Sims Drive above the east end zone. But it's awfully hard to be sure from that distance.

Commercial modular buildings use paneling systems all the time. They don't leak.

I see a lot of uncertainty and puzzlement in this thread.

Is that because they don't know what they are doing or is it because we don't know what they are doing?

Three guesses--the first 2 don't count.

 

[alphaorange]

No. I meant 6.5 millimeters.

So you're saying the new roof is roughly 1/4" taller than the old one?

 

[alphaorange]

We're still talking about a construction project right? Not the high school girls discussing me in the locker room 30 years ago?

(god it's been 30 years).

Shrinkage, Chip, shrinkage. Just say it with conviction.

What do we have here on Forestry, a flat bed carrying what looks like a part of a crane boom - a big one and something red that could also be part of a boom? Or not.

I hesitate to post this, but Centria also makes this.


Someone please tell me we are not going to it for the roof exterior. NJCuse97, please let me the U values don't work. Throw me a bone. Please.

Since this system is not a composite panel, I do not see a value this would bring to our design. This is essentially siding. I think you're in the clear here.

Cool. Do you think thin strips of what looks like grey corrugated metal might be used to hold the composite panels in place?

The more I see them put the grey strips in place, the more they look like they are meant to hold panels in place.

In fact, I think the part of the grey metal that sticks out might actually be the darker line that you can see separates the rows of panels in the Geiger drawings.

So - to all the naysayers - that looks pretty amazing.

I love those little promo pieces. And seriously, those guys have no fear just casually straddling those steam beams while working.

That video is nicely done. It would be better if someone was explaining what we are seeing, where things stand, the next objectives, etc. But I am grateful for this.

Let’s talk about the metal they are putting on top of the steel. The video provides a view from below it, so we can see the underside of the grey pieces.

it doesn’t look like it is corrugated from below. It looks like it might be composite metal. Here is a screen shot I took:

The pieces look like they are aligned pretty well.

Here is a screen capture from the live feed this morning:

The pieces look too wide to be framing. I think this is the exterior surface. Some of the pieces have been put on haphazardly but it looks like they can be adjusted and tweaked as necessary so everything can get aligned later.

If it isn’t the exterior surface, could it be a layer of insulation?

Thoughts?

 

[hoopsupstate]

The gray pieces look to be stabilizing pieces. They might also be in place for roof attachments or footing for the crew. We thought the steel might be completed by the middle of this week, but it looks like at least another full week. The north and south ends haven’t even been touched this week.

Probably not insulation. If this is a paneling system the panel comes with it's own insulating foam core.

Yeah, my initial thought is they are just catwalks for the crew to go from section to section more easily.

Precisely.

Let’s just ignore completely overhauling the entire roofing system and focus on one thing

To my eye, it looks like the underside of the grey pieces might be white foam...
