The Rise of LASED.........

[bluecoconuts]

I don't know..... Now I'm not an architect or builder of any sorts, but I'm kind of thinking this is not going to be ready. Now I hope and I'm probably wrong, but it looks like they should have more done at this point. I guess we'll see what we see!!

What makes you think that? One the roof is finished, which should be before March is over, they’ll finish the screen, raise it, and then it’s just mostly finishing touches.

What makes you think that? The roof is moving along very quickly now. I know that there have been a large number of roof panels put into place over the last three weeks, especially on the west and north sides. I count at least 14 panels on the ground right now.

The occulus is suspended from the roof and video panels are being attached to it. I think most of the drywall has been completed with exception of the performance venue. Seat installation goes very fast. Landscaping will go fast.

ya like the other posters replied, I think they'll be ready. I happen to be an architect, and with the carpet installed in the Bolts locker room, that means it's 99% complete, ready for a punch list. One of the videos I just saw showed tile in the restroom vestibule, meaning the bathrooms are almost done. Floor finish contractors are one of the last ones on the job.
The tech guys will have a ways to go, to install all the wireless tech, networks, security, sound systems, and run extensive testing.
The performance venue is another story, and the NFL Media building looks maybe 30% complete.
I still don't know how they're getting roof panels to the middle, but there's one crane that looks really long & looks like it could reach.

The only thing that can stop this building from being complete by Taylor's event is, sadly, the coronavirus. Many, many of our construction materials & fixtures come from China. And if the virus hits LA, well.....

Crane collapses in lot outside new SoFi Stadium

No injuries were reported after a large crane collapsed in a parking lot outside SoFi Stadium, the new home of the NFL's Chargers and Rams that is expected to open this summer.

Just heard, hope everybody is OK.

That's the second time the crane collapses. Hopefully nobody is hurt and no major structural damages to Sofi Stadium.

Reading on it I think this was a smaller crane outside the stadium being moved and it collided with a bigger crane and both fell.

Here's the video of the crane on the ground.

The crane contractors won't be working there any longer.

Today Friday, February 28, 2019. You can see the downed crane in the lower left. This would be the north east corner of the stadium.

Interestingly, you can also see that they have done a considerable amount of concrete work on pathways for the northern side of the building.

Concrete/lots are mostly all done, they just put dirt over it so it doesn’t get stressed and damaged by the rest of the equipment.

Roof is over 50% done.....

Roof is over 50% done.....

Although minus one crane.

SoFi Stadium's translucent roof coming together

SoFi Stadium's translucent roof taking shape

INGLEWOOD, Calif. –– Don't raise the roof – look through it.

SoFi Stadium's, that is.

When Rams fans glance up from their seats in the team's future home this fall, they will see a uniquely-shaped translucent canopy covering the playing field and everything surrounding it.

"The ETFE foil is not used everywhere in the world, (but) it is becoming more popular," Tawa Sulaiman, Roof Structure Superintendent, Turner AECOM-Hunt Join Venture, said at a Jan. 22 media event.

ETFE – or Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene – is a creative and lightweight alternative to glass with a high corrosion resistance and ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures. According to structureflex.com, ETFE is ideal for outdoor-indoor spaces, which is exactly how SoFi Stadium was designed.

The roof is supported by a double cable-net system which is the largest cable net system in the world. The 1,450-ton, 75,000-foot long cable net system was completed in October 2019.

"The cables that the ETFE sits on that come from Germany, that's also a very unique system that's not used everywhere in the world," Sulaiman said.

The cables' final position will make a double-convex, in turn creating a slope-shaped roof.

Broken down further, the ETFE roof is comprised of 302 unique picture frames, held down by picture frame clamps. More than 120 of those frames have been installed as of Jan. 22, each varying between 30,000 to 70,000 pounds in weight depending on the type.

According to Dan Schmitt, senior project manager, roof structure, 65 percent of the ETFE membrane is a dotted reflective frit pattern and 35 percent transparent.

While the frit pattern isn't noticeable given the distance between the roof and the seats, the EFTE membrane itself has enough transparency for fans to see planes flying over the stadium.

When all 302 are in place, 46 of them will have the ability to be controlled to be open/closed while the remaining 256 are permanently fixed.

The 46 controllable panels are built such that half of the panel opens up and slides over onto the other half of the panel, creating the opening. It's a useful feature for hot gamedays.

"It's mostly for comfort," Sulaiman said of those capabilities as they relate to the fan experience.

Altogether, the roof will canvas approximately one million square feet.

Just don't admire it too long, though, because you don't want to miss the on-field action either.

here's a look at the raiders roof. looks like they install it a little different than the rams roof.





and here's drone footage of the rams stadium. i don't think this guy is allowed to fly over the roof. makes for frustrating viewing.

Wonder how much damage the crane did ??

The crane contractors won't be working there any longer.

Or anywhere.
