If you look at aerial pictures of the stadium being built it gives a good view of how that corner of the roof was done.

There was an inspection of the roof today just after lunch. Looks like it was pulled back from the side edges of the stadium rather than it being a design fault causing upward forces from underneath, which is good news.

So might that suggest that there were perhaps not enough of whatever is used to fasten the aluminium in place to hold it secure under stress?

Indeed, a factor is that the stadium is a very tall structure, it therefore takes a stronger stress from the conditions than you're average supermarket would. The contractors specialise in supermarkets and the roofing is very similar to the one on Tesco.

The damage has occured twice, just where the corner lifts up, like a small wave. the first repair is alright showing they can make the roof secure, should have set the alarm bells ringing that first damage, hope they have a more extensive check this time round.

talking to a builder friend of mine he said it was common practice for these sheets to be simply crimped together and they are attached to the lower level of sheeting by a bolt at the bottom, but just a "tophat" crimped onto that bolt at the top. So not even bolted down!

Oh dear.
Don't like the sound of "The developer took a bit of a punt on us because we’re a relatively young company, so we’re delighted to have repaid their faith" and "The construction game is very tough at the moment and the margins are very tight".

I'd be a tad worried if I was a Southend or Aberdeen supporter - "The business is now Barr’s preferred bidder for roofing work on proposed new stadiums in Aberdeen and Southend".

You would think that being in Carlisle they would be used to strong winds etc. :shock:

It appears that this was the company's first stadium roof and the implication is that it got the job at least partially because it was doing Tesco's roof.

I'm guessing it'll be the firm last stadium! noone will want them after this and Barr and Langtree will be furious
