I do not think its a good idea that "thats how they learn to build better" is a principle that should have been applied here. It makes Langtree Park sound like a biulding experiment.
While I appreciate your point, companies need to start somewhere. Barr will have been inexperienced at stadium builds at one time but then somebody took a punt on them and they now have valued experience. These guys in Carlisle will have learned a lot from the stadium project and we don't yet know why the damage has occurred. No signs of any reports about more damage this morning and yet the winds were just as bad if not worse last night. If there is no further damage today then that would suggest that either some miscalculation was made in terms of what was needed to secure the roof in the first place or something else entirely (ie nothing to do with the roofers) has caused the problem.
I've no problem with any of this and companies do indeed have to start somewhere; However, I run a business and would not hire someone to do a specialised job for us who had not got the relevant experiance in that type of project - I'm probably a bit selfish and would let others take that risk first.
What is done is done and as you say, it could be a design problem and nothing to do with the roofers or it could be the actual instalation of the roof that was not done according to the design/plans. Hopefully it is not the roofing company ar fault as this would not be good for them as a growing company based in an area that needs jobs.
Whatever; but fingers crossed no more damage and it's a simple solution.
In any event we will be covered (no pun intended) its just how long it take to resolve the problem.
(The issue with wind damage to St George's stadium in Aus happened 2 months ago and they are still arguing who is to blame and which is the best way to fix it).
