A new image displaying a superimposed graphic of where the pitch will be shows the outline of Everton’s new stadium is becoming ever clearer - as work gathers pace on the west stand which will provide the main view of the Blues’ new home from across the Mersey for both Wirral residents and passing ships.
Pre-cast concrete sections are transforming the landscape in the south west corner of the site at Bramley-Moore Dock, less than a week since the first concrete foundation slab was poured. And within two months, it is anticipated that the ground floor level of the build will be visible along the majority of the west stand.
Phil Evans, senior engineer at Laing O’Rourke, explained: “We’re well underway now in the west stand with the precast build, and that will spread outwards in the south west corner. We’ll work outwards from the south west, and a separate build in the north west will then be undertaken until they meet in the middle. We’d expect this to happen in around two months’ time, on the ground level.”
