Work is set to commence on the steel frame for the northern half of the western terrace at the Everton Stadium.

Steel contractor Severfield are due on site imminently to mirror the structure already installed – and fast developing - on the southern side of the west stand.

Once the final 130 tonnes of steelwork is installed, concrete slabs can be poured and concrete rakers and terracing positioned, as the structure begins to take on its symmetrical appearance.

Elsewhere, the east stand roof is being prepared for the rolling out of the top sheet, later this month.

Over 30,000 seats have now been installed within the bowl of the stadium, with work well underway in the lower tiers.

Externally, stonemasons are meticulously rebuilding the boundary wall around the steel pedestrian gates, using bricks removed from the wall during the early part of the project.

Cabling has also been installed to provide power to the main sub-station on the western wharf, as part of the critical path that will result in useable power throughout the building within the coming weeks, further aiding internal works.
