Thanks, Colin. An interesting array of light colours over the whole area. The pink reflections on the Polycarbonate Roofing from the UV Arrays almost made it seem like the start of a sunrise or the last of a sunset. I suspect that the handover will be more like an athletics relay race where it takes a while for the baton to actually be in full control of the next stage runner. PoI's: 1) @ 3:34 mins, we can just see that they have fitted the bottom large fence panels in the large NW Wind-baffle. 2) @ 4:01 mins, we can see the light reflecting off the galvanised steel shoe scrapers 3) @ 4:26 mins, we can see that one unit of the northern side light strip in the central terrace tunnel is not working. 4) @ 4:51 mins, it looks as though they still have to complete the northern end of the Capping Beam on the Lower Promenade. 5) @ 6:23 mins, it's good to see that the blue-glazed brick-laying should be completed soon enough and so I guess we'll now speculation about when what statues will be mounted on the plinths. 6) @ 7:20 mins, it's good to see the black double gates mounted. I'd not noticed it before but it looks as though the fence-line is actually set in from the boundary, where the new surfacing is laid up to. 7) @ 8:34 mins, I'm not convinced the white material is a primer. To me it looks as though it's sheet material laid with the grid acting as grippers, acting as an underlayer for either a PU, resin or Liquid Rubber screed finish (in dark-grey). 8) @ 10:08 mins, we can see that both Isolation Bridges now have vehicle-restricting beam-gates on the West ends of them. 9) @ 10:48 mins, yes, granite setts to be laid across the driveway, as a form of Pedestrian Crossing, as will be the case just west of the southern Isolation Bridge. 10) @ 11:50 mins and afterwards, it's a surprise to see such substantial barricades being added into the mezzanine so late in the day. 11) @ 15:40 mins, I suspect you were unaware, Colin, but a whole lot of the scaffolding on the ENE corner of the concrete roof, has now been erected in behind the barrel-cladding. It's a shame to have missed out on that.
Thanks David as always. I'm still tending to disagree with you regarding the roof @8:34, The edges of the white/grey where you can see look feathered off like it was painted on, if it was a sheet material i would presume the edges to be a square edge? I was also surprised by the late addition barricades on the mezzanine, i can only think they have been additions due to H&S concerns? I did miss the scaffolding in the ENE corner, it was actually a lot darker than it appeared on the video and was only getting darker as the rain clouds came in.
@@cp-overview You can certainly disagree. I can't be sure one way or another, and am guessing at possible explanations. If you think it's been a liquid material, what do you make of the grid within the area and the lack of any markings on the feet of the (temporary?) barriers? If the surface ahas been a liquid applied, then I revert to the grid structure as being some form of earthing strip, because they definitely attach to the bases of the steels. AND, IF they are earthing strips, that suggests there could be some interesting electrical developments to come on that roof yet, such as a Lumiere set up for the barrel-cladding. there is a cable feed and conduit leading to a 'cabinet' located just behind the castellations, which suggests some of form of powered lighting, perhaps? You could well be right re the barriers on the mezzanine. It still seems odd so late in the day as one would think the theory was applicable at the outset. The scaffolding on the ENE seems shrouded in adrkness and mystery, physically and metaphorically.
lookin great - nice vid - still curious about what the lighting is going to look like when complete - I've seen suggestions the lighting units are adjustable and that it will be more of a 'wash' than the 'British gas ' flame look at the moment . They seem to be playing around with the colours on the south stand so I hope so especially as theres a couple out of alignment on the east which is doing my OCD no good haha.
There is a small gate down the side but the large gap has perforated roller shutters already installed above. They'll be left open when possible but brought down in adverse weather as additional wind protection
As Phil states. The two SW corner 10m wide 50% porosity roller shutters and the slightly smaller but also 50% porosity roller shutter NW are installed already and have been spotted lowered sporadically on some videos. They'll only be lowered in certain power weather conditions.
I m guessing snags will be done after handover - they can hand over once practically complete with agreement of the parties - wonder if they are timing it to coincide with the club take over ??
No, Bailey, they never have been planning to do so. It was only shown on 'visualisations' for PR. Nearly every CGI'd visualisation has had things added or removed from the actual plans.
There was actually an official answer whilst we was on the tour. 1878, everton etc was originally going on the seats but then because of potential sponsors also wanting seat space it made more sense to make all the seats blue and then add in what they want afterwards as its easier to take one colour out than potentially taking blue and white seats out and changing the layout completely. It wasn't confirmed either way if that would happen.
@@cp-overview Yes, I was aware of that. It's a case of semantics with regard to 'originally'. Maybe I should not have used the word 'Never' but some visualisations came out AFTER the approved plans that did not have the logos included. The initial designs and approved plans differed but I absolutely agree that any result of Naming Rights Sponsorship will affect the final result, as I have stated before but not in my answer above, because it's unlikely that there will be EFC branded logos in white seating in the stadium, unless, of course, no Sponsor is netted.
In construction the term is practical completion. This gives client access to carry out their post construction plans and allows the contractor to move the majority of his team away from the practically complete construction site.
@@PhilipCroston Good information. I've described an analogy of being like an athletics relay race where 2 runners overlap before the baton is finally in total control of the next runner.
Oh ok thanks for the info. I knew the snagging would have started a long time ago and it wouldn't have all just have been left until the very end as the site is to big and that could have took weeks or months. I'm just on about actual remaining jobs to be completed by Laing O'rourke, I can't see them being done by Friday so I'd imagine the handover date will be pushed slightly back again.
@@rosse6705 Broadly we're all in agreement. I DO wonder if it MIGHT just be a tie-in with a potential TFG official takeover of EFC tomorrow with them visiting to officiate with a 'handover, with LoR on Friday? What do you reckon?
@@davidbadcock2225I'm not to sure mate I suppose we will find out on Friday haha. If I had to guess I'd say it's going to get pushed back by a week or two or they might just do some sort of PR event on Friday to say it has been handed over even if there are a few remaining jobs to be compelteted and signed off.
It won't look bland when all the seats are filled, making the seat colour irrelevant, which is the only time it'll be seen on TV, after all. Why go to all that effort just for a passing drone? Personally I think it's better without the lettering as it always ends up being a layout compromise and looking as if a child has been playing with little plastic bricks. There's absolutely no chance that this stadium will be confused with being anywhere else than EFC's new home.
@@mikeoglen6848 I am not forgetting about sponsorship at all and you will find I have stsated before in comments that Sponsorship could change the seating. I just didn't mention it as thunts was asking about EFC branding. Of course, the circumstances can change in a trice. If no sponsorship is netted, then TFG may decide otherwise. It's an easily flexible feature. persoannly, though, I lke the all-blue, as it all becomes irrelevant when the crowd is there and the results always look messy, compromised and as if a child has been playing with plastic bricks. There has to be a more modern way of displaying 'this is my house'. We can expect that the Everton Way will display "EVERTON" in the layout, for instance.
Why,why,why are they putting barriers or fences on that West stairs. Makes everything narrower than needed. Bottleneck entrance. Also far to many handrailing imo. Let me know David.
Bottleneck, Jurgen? The vast majority of fans in the west stand will enter the stadium under the mezzanine through turnstiles in the tunnel under the western terrace 👍🏻
Both red and blue light is needed for different elements of best plant growth. The pitch lights will be adjustable across the spectrum depending on what they're trying to achieve. Browse with wording like, "The Ideal LED Grow Light Spectrum for Plants" to learn more.

The stadium itself is magnificent, but the waterside location adds greatly to the impact it makes.

Thanks Colin for getting up so early to do this. I don’t think you’re a local are you? Great video.
No , its about 40 minutes away, i like to go early to miss the traffic
Wow its looking very good indeed when will it be finished
Late spring/early summer
@DuncTheBlue1878 it would be great to see Everton move into their new stadium
Any idea whats happening with the steelwork north and south west corner are they not fitting large gates to the opening

AHH I've not seen them down I thought it was a bit strange having gates with massive openings that explains it 😃
The stadium looks great, but Everton are gonna have a real problem in future if they ever want to expand the capacity.
There isn’t much space at all.
I think that Everton is only gonna grow as a club.
Stadium tour tourists it looks like many will be moving here next season rather than the stadium next door 💙
There’s still a lot of work required but I don’t see why that can’t be done after the handover.
