Compression Ring Must Be Repaired

Because of the bolt failure on the initial attempt to raise the roof, damage to the compression ring makes it necessary for repairs there. Because the initial process, and bolts used didn’t work as they expected, the process must be re-engineered and changed.

“That said, the compression ring will need to be repaired and have its integrity certified before cable-net lifting can resume,” GCDP said in its report. “A new procedure is now being developed by the engineers and construction team, and the project schedule will be updated accordingly.”

Next, could the lack of a closed roof cause further delays?
