Steelwork for the new first team and U23s building is being erected, with the framework only a few weeks away from completion. There are more than 2,000 pieces of steel to erect, which have taken around 12 weeks to install. The framework contains approximately 520 tonnes of steel and has taken 2,166 crane lifts to move each piece into place.
Work has now moved on at pace, with almost 2,300 cubic metres of concrete and 30,000 tonnes of stone having been used so far to lay the groundwork for foundations of the training complex, swimming and hydrotherapy pools, car parks, footpaths, and the ground and first floor levels of the main training facility.
