The first liner sheets to aid with the roof build-up have been slotted into place at Everton Stadium.
As work on the roof accelerates on Everton’s 52,888 capacity future home at Bramley-Moore Dock – with the second section of the first truss in the north stand bolted into place earlier this week – the roof panelling is following quickly behind.
Around half of the roof panelling is being fixed at ground level, to reduce the risk of harm by working at height and to minimise the impact of the wind in the construction operation. Temporary steel bracing is also helping to secure the trusses until the whole truss assembly and roof barrel are complete and able to support their own weight.
