After being out of work for 4 months, my Union finally pulled through and got me a great job that will last a while! On June 25th I started my first day at BC Place.
Basically, the job is going to consist of, constructing a new roof, along with major renovations and reinforcing the over all integrity of the structure. The roof will be retractable and will be built similar to that of a suspension bridge. it will consist of post tensioned cables suspended from cantilever columns that tower over the stadium.
The outside will look something like this:
The inside may look something like this:
The PT cables will all meet at the center of the structure and go into a 100 Ton node.
Here is a great video showing in detail how the structure will actually be built:
Here is a video of what it will actually look like when completed:
Now finally for my own personal photos of the job in progress! Please feel free to comment and ask questions!! ENJOY!
