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.

Precast Planks In-Situ Formwork All Steel

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.

Locally provided Precast Concrete Planks REIDsteel Galvanised decking and joists with no propping Anti skid steel decking

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.
