KingsX Posted 9 January 2020 Share Posted 9 January 2020 Only City have a training complex so great it needs a chant. “Your Training Complex is Shit” or “Best Buildings in Europe, you’ll never sing that”. Get on it, UFS. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWUKO Posted 9 January 2020 Share Posted 9 January 2020 Coming along nicely, flooding appears to have gone too! This is a massive project, I still cant believe it, it's about twice the size of liverpool's new trading ground, a real statement of intent from the club!

UHDrive Posted 9 January 2020 Share Posted 9 January 2020 Long time since I've been on here. Does anyone know what the blank white area is on the new training ground (underground basement level facing the show pitch)?. They sure have added quite a bit onto the building here. Impressive....

urban.spaceman Posted 10 January 2020 Share Posted 10 January 2020 75m Lattice Truss for Leicester City Training Ground Nicola20th September 2019 BHC Fabricate 75m Lattice Truss for Leicester City Training Ground The indoor football pitch at Leicester City Training Ground comprises of a Square Hollow section diagrid spanning between a series of SHS Arched Lattice Trusses. The lattice truss consists of 4 sections that span 75m (2.2 to 3.9m deep) between reinforced concrete buttress walls with concealed bolted connections between each section. 3 x 110mm diameter pins are used to connect the 4 main bottom boom sections of the truss. Each lattice truss weighs 23.5 tonnes. The main roof steelwork of the covered pitch is exposed, and all connections were meticulously detailed with concealed bolting to meet the architectural requirements. A temporary central trestle will be required during the erection and levelling of the trusses. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
