The club’s new home on Liverpool’s north docks is currently the largest single site development under construction in the UK. The skeleton of the stadium is now clearly visible as the steelwork on the North and South stands is erected.

And now Ben Townsley, Civil and Structures Project Leader at Laing O’Rourke, the club's construction partner in the project, has explained how the 'just-in-time' delivery programme - along with three years of meticulous planning - is paying dividends as the development continues to take shape.
