They just need to petition the UK government to relax the health and safety regulations around the build. Point of order. Good health and safety doesn’t slow down construction, it speeds up it through proper planning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was working on a job recently where we had a pre-tender DTM. We were talking about construction sequence and planning it. The client was there and is fully buying into it. He's an analytical guy. Meanwhile MEP were moaning about it. MEP guys have now been sacked off the job There is some rather big ducts that are required in the ground coming into the building from another building on site. We were talking about phasing of the construction for this part and how to keep a part of the site open to get materials in and out. MEP guy 'just put some fucking planks over it will be reyt, I've got to get back for another meeting' Daft cunt see ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have a world class ground 6 miles away as Spurs did My understanding was (and I could be wrong) they build 3/4 or so of new stadium we then move in and start playing, then they demolish Leazes end and build the last end on new stadium then complete the demolition of St James’s Edited February 6 by Rosco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougle 3661 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 That foot print on the satellite thing looks suspiciously small, surely a new decently sized ground would take up much more room ie more of Leazes park and more of the SJP present area. Someone over on NO was on about how the proposed idea was to make it taller than the present ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 32821 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think the image was probably mocked up by the telegraph rather than a leaked architectural proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle 3661 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Well aye but even so, it would affect any transition between old and new which is up for discussion. I mean disruption to SJP and or the land encroachment to Leazes Park would be greatly increased. I just think it gives a false impression and some people are basing thoughts on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 1997 they had allotments where it met Barrack Road which I seem to recall the majority of the protestation was about. As for what to do with the existing footprint, make it a green-ish space but combine it to make it a world-class fan zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect, it takes decades because of poor workmanship (your problem for not vetting your contractors). Or it takes ages to get through planning, due to Tory cuts to planning departments. Like I said (and construction professionals agreed) GOOD H&S makes construction quicker, bad H&S I have no idea about cos I’m good at my job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, taken offence to this. The UK is one of the safest places to work in the world, because of the health and safety legislation in place and the well trained and professional experts in the field. If work is slow is because of health and safety it probably means the work shouldn’t be done or the budget is too low. I personally wouldn’t dare to say to the pharmaceutical industry is doing something wrong because, I know nowt. Ring a bell? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Renton is just bouncing off your statement about H&S speeding things up, and saying that because everything we build here is done so slowly, we must therefore have no H&S Not that H&S slows things down.

Infrastructure does take too long here but that's not down to H&S. Nimbyism, planning regs, political incompetence.
