nib contract awarded to BCG Construction
It has been announced that BGC Construction has been awarded the head construction contract for the State Government’s A$95.14 million redevelopment of the nib Stadium in Perth.
The redevelopment will consist of a covered eastern grandstand complete with new food, beverage and toilet facilities, a 250-seat barbecue terrace and seating for approximately 420 patrons in open corporate boxes.
A new uncovered permanent southern stand, two large video replay boards, a new whole-of-stadium PA system, CCTV surveillance system and new pitch lighting will also be included. A new playing surface will be installed between July and October 2013, with the seating in the northern bowl area going in at the same time.
The new design is being produced by Cox Architecture, which was awarded a Victorian architecture medal last year for its AAMI Park development in Melbourne.
Work on the stadium is due to commence in early July 2012. At the conclusion of the first stage of the upgrade, which includes replacing all temporary sections of the facility, the stadium will have a capacity of about 20,500 people, up from the current capacity of 18,000.
The stadium will remain in operation for the Perth Glory during the 2012-13 A-League season, but with a reduced capacity of about 9,500 people.
The project is scheduled for completion in March 2013.
Brazil's Morumbi stadium is undergoing an extensive modernisation project that will increase the venue's flexibility, improve safety and increase spectator comfort.
