The roof structure of the north stand at Everton Stadium is now complete, after the last truss was secured last week.
Both full-span roof trusses are now installed, leaving just the purlins and roofing panels to extend across the full width of the roof.
Work will now switch to completing the south stand roof structure, which needs the final piece of the second full-span truss to be bolted into place, along with all three sections of the third and final truss.
Support trestles are being installed in the south stand in preparation for these lifts, and construction partner Laing O’Rourke remain on track to have the roof completed by Easter.
Work is also ramping up to begin the steelwork in the upper tier of the west stand, which will then allow the roof to be installed atop that stand and link to the north and south roofs.
The final concrete pour took place this week on level four of the west stand, and the western wharf, adjacent to the River Mersey, has now been handed over to key supply chain partners Severfield, where they will shortly begin prefabricating the west stand roof barrel sections.
Within the west stand itself, the internal fit-out has already extended up to level one, which will house the corporate areas.
In both the ground floor and level one the head track – a profile which forms the top section of the internal walls- is being installed, along with rainwater pipes.
Externally, there are also big changes taking place to the Hydraulic Tower and adjoining Engine House.
A new zinc roof has been installed to the hydraulic engine house chimney and, in the coming weeks, the scaffolding will be stripped back from the roof area.
New roof slates will be installed on the angled roof, while bricklayers have begun to rebuild the old station master’s office.
By the end of March, Laing O’Rourke hope to have all scaffolding removed from the Hydraulic Tower.

Dan Meis is confident Everton Stadium will enhance the famous Goodison roar. The Club’s future home already dominates the north Liverpool skyline, as the roof of the 52,888-seater stadium continues to take shape. And in a new Club podcast, Everton’s Stadium Concept Design Guardian spoke of his belief that when packed with raucous Evertonians, the acoustics will prove inspirational for the Blues and intimidating for opposing sides. Meis said: “The new stadium is going to feel very intimate and incredibly loud and energetic. That was such a concern, because the power of Goodison to the play on the pitch is so important and I really wanted to make sure we could capture that. “We were always very conscious of the roof providing more enclosure than what we have at Goodison, and the roof itself is pretty consistent, so we have looked at the acoustics of that. “I think fans are going to be very surprised how loud this building is going to be and feeling like all that noise is right on top of the pitch. “It’s a bigger building, but it’s not going to feel a lot bigger than Goodison. The good thing is that we are already quite a bit bigger than Goodison Park, so there are going to be more rowdy fans!” Meis was answering fans’ questions submitted by subscribers to the Club’s monthly stadium newsletter, which covered a multitude of topics pertinent to the build and its unique design.
