Hi all.
The mezzaning flooring has now been completed and the roof structure will be stated this Friday. The engineers are ahead of schedule and are trying to be ready in time to move the frame on site in a week or so.
Ive included links to 3 images to give you a better view of the structure.
The first 2 are of the floor in wide view and the last is with some piers freely standing to give a sense of scale.

Hi Mike.
There will be 9 permanent piers within the main building itself with a further 2 domes in the observation field area.
Cheers
