EVERTON STADIUM STAND NEARS COMPLETION
A series of roof cantilever tips have been installed as the west stand roof speeds towards completion.
The steel extensions are fitted to the end of the existing roof sections and will support the polycarbonate, ‘transparent’ part of the structure.
The work is being mirrored on the east stand, where the initial roof sections are still being installed.
Meanwhile, at ground level, terracing units are being laid on top of the raker beams across the face of the north stand, which has also seen an access tunnel created in the north west corner.
The raker beams, in conjunction with lower tiered terracing units in all four stands, will be installed as close as possible to the pitch to enhance the atmosphere.
Work continues at pace in the belly of both the east and west stands, as the various rooms, corridors and concourses take shape.
The stadium is also being wired throughout for services and connectivity.

Today marks the second anniversary of work commencing on our new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, Liverpool's Fourth Grace!
The project began with a feat of maritime engineering, as a semi-derelict dock was filled with 480,000 cubic metres of sea-dredged sand to provide solid foundations.
The 52,888 all-seater stadium, on the banks of the River Mersey, has since progressed at rapid pace, largely thanks to the pioneering method of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) adopted by our construction partner, Laing O’Rourke.
The super structure has been pieced together using the technologically advanced DfMA. This involves all of the steelwork and precast concrete being manufactured in advance, off-site, under factory conditions before arriving on site in a pre-determined order and slotted together utilising 3D modelling.
More than half a million hand-laid bricks will clad Everton Stadium in a stunning design that perfectly complements the industrial dockside surroundings.
The 731 brick façade panels are again manufactured under carefully-monitored factory conditions, then hung in sequence to subtly reveal elements of the famous Archibald Leitch truss that are evident in the historic Goodison Park latticework designed by the Scottish stadium architect.
The coming months will see the roofing structure completed, with the aim of making the stadium watertight to aid the internal fit-out, which is already well under way in the east and west stands.
Everton Stadium, due for completion in late 2024, is recognised as the largest single-site private sector development in the country, contributing an estimated £1.3bn to the UK economy, creating tens of thousands of jobs and attracting 1.4m visitors to the city of Liverpool, annually.
Once complete, the scheme will have acted as a catalyst for more than £650m worth of accelerated regeneration directly benefiting the nearby Ten Streets development.

Man dies after 'incident' at Bramley Moore stadium site
A man has died after an incident at Bramley Moore dock construction site where Everton's new stadium is being built.
The 26-year-old was injured shortly before 1pm today and emergency services attended the scene. The victim, understood to have suffered severe head injuries, was taken to Aintree Hospital but declared dead a short time later.
The ECHO understands the incident involved "heavy machinery". Merseyside Police confirmed the man's next of kin has been informed.
Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which investigates accidents in the workplace, are on the scene and conducting enquiries. Scientific support vehicles from Merseyside Police were seen at the entrance to the site.
A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: "We can confirm that a man has died following an incident at Bramley Moore Dock this afternoon, Monday 14 August. At around 1pm it was reported that a 26-year-old man had been injured and emergency services attended the scene.
The man was taken to hospital where he was sadly pronounced dead. His next of kin have been informed. Officers remain at the scene as we continue with the early stages of the investigation alongside the Health and Safety Executive."
Workers from the site told the ECHO that they had been informed of an incident and then asked to leave the Bramley Moore site, but could not share further details.
