Image shows four of the lower tie ropes, which will support the new roof, being held by temporary clamps. Once all the tie ropes are in place then they are tensioned with hydraulic jacks. This image was taken just as the second pair of ropes were being fitted, temporarily supported by the large steel beam on the right.
