From another thread:

Don't worry... because the arch is curved both vertically and in plan, it is an extremely complex geometrical shape. Watsons have allowed for this, by making some of the flanges oversized, to allow for modifications - but this means that final adjustments cannot be made until it has been put into place.

However it is much easier to make these adjustments on the ground, and for this reason it is likely that you will see each of the sections of the arch being lifted into position and then taken down again over the next few weeks.

I don't think the word 'flange' is used enough in todays society.

went past yesterday morning (Sunday) and it was on the floor, so it can't have been up last night.

It may have gone back up for a re-fit and lowered again for more adjustments, it only takes a reletively short time for it to go up and come down again.

That's very candid of you, but what about the arch?

 

[Gritt23]

Give it an hour of so, and I'm sure we can get ourselves back in a semi-erect state at least.

It's all gone a bit flaccid this morning

Clearly you've never worked where I work then.

They did some flange adjustments on the last series of Embarassing Bodies on channel 4.

I'm not sure it had anything to do with big steel arches through.

Bit of an anti climax after the build up.

Will be great when it's all up but going to take a while i suspect to see it in all its glory

They have lowered the crane.
Wonder if they are preparing for arch lift part due

Looks like the crane is having a sniff of the skip.
