New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Sweeneytoad]

This is what happens when you get an architect from LA, where it doesn't rain, to design a stadium

What i don't understand and would love to learn is how was there just so much water. Surely a breach in the roof would not cause it, and if it's drains why would it come from a covered up area at the back of a large stand? I can understand a leak on a new roof but not of that magnitude

It's the siphonic drainage. It's designed to carry huge volumes of water and is used on pretty much all large commercial roof areas to limit the number of downpipes.

Problem being that if there is ever a failure of the system, like this for whatever reason, those huge volumes of water can cause quite severe flooding.

Thanks mate Just looking at diagrams of it now, seems air locks can be an issue. Clever system when working though.

Siphonic drainage...apparently: Most common cause of operational problems and system failures is blockages in pipework and gutters - can be avoided with a regular maintenance program. Incorrect installation resulting in air being trapped in the system.

They'll love it. It'll remind them of all the waves of piss they waded through as kids.

Has that concrete started cracking ? Thats more of a concern if so

I said that earlier, can't tell if it's a trick of the camera but it looked well broken up.

I would imagine there should be enough demand for one in south Liverpool AND one in the north end. Maybe they might build 2? Any suggestions what we would do with the site? Park and ride with a bus? Nah, seems like a waste of prime "real estate". Hotel etc?

Are you really a DR?

I’m am a little surprised that the water if finding a way to run down into the concessions rather than continue down to terrace to the pitch.
I guess they don’t design it that way as it not supposed to happen.

No, looks like black material that's gathered in certain areas, but not cracks.

Hmmm, good point.

@davek You seen this

 

[NSNO1878EFC]

I imagine it’s quite difficult to test this unless it rains like it did today so it’s probably a good thing it happened now.

The irony of the stadium being next to a United Utilities facility. It’s not them dumping their excess again is it?
