Grandstands and Stadium
Design and Construction
Stadium Materials Options
Stadium Canopy and Cladding
The grandstand roof, fascia and rear in temperate climates should be
in Plastisol Coated Steel. In host sunny climates and humid climates,
double sided long life enamels will be better.
The grandstands purlins may be plain Zeta zeds; or zeds with with bird
preventers. For a little more, the purlins can be hot rolled box sections,
hot dip galvanised inside and out.
Where the stand does not go to the corner flag, or on a cricket or athletics
or racing stands the end should be open with a rail.
Where the grandstand ends are open the roof and near wall can cantilever
past the end to give more protection from sun or rain.
In temperate climates where the stand covers the full width the ends
should be clad in, to the toe or near the toe. It may have translucents
or glass.
Concrete and Steel Terraces
Where precast is readily available, precast L shaped terrace planks are
a good solution. They may need special fire proof sealants, which are
costly. They are more fire resistant than other terraces, but heavier.
Alternatively REIDsteel can produce steel formwork to support your in-situ
concrete terraces.
REIDsteel can produce their own anti skid steel terraces, hot dip galvanised
for long life. They require much less foundations. They are completely
demountable and re-usable. They provide excellent cost effective grandstands
for every use. Facilities underneath may need their own fire protection.

Floor Construction
Where hollow cored precast concrete floor planks are readily available
Precast Planks are good for the floors of the internal accommodation.
Alternatively we can produce galvanised composite or lost formwork decking
for your in situ slabs.
On many occasions anti skid galvanised steel flooring may produce the
most suitable flooring. It is lighter and demountable. It is not easy
to waterproof or fire protect if accommodation is needed underneath.

Concrete Vomitories
Vomitories and stairs may be made in heavy precast concrete.
Steel Vomitories
Alternatively the vomitories and stairs may be made in steel, either
with infill coated steel sheeting, or vertical galvanised steel bars.
Handrails will have Newel posts with spherical knob.
