Challenge

The construction of a covered fan park to include food, beverage and retail outlets. 2 separate roof structures were required together with complex combined foundations for the prefabricated units and roof supports.

Birmingham City Football Club required a new fan park to accommodated fans pre and post match. The remit called for covered areas to enable visitors to enjoy the foot, beverage and retail outlets in comfort, all year round. The main area of the fan park has a stage with a large screen whilst another area was dedicated to a family zone. The project had to be delivered and commissioned ahead of the coming season. The project included: –

Site clearance
Drainage
Reinforced Foundations
Asphalt and atsro turfed areas
Installation of water and electricity supplies
Installation of data network infrastructure
Prefabricated F&B and retail units
Strech tent canopy
Vaulted canopy roof
Fencing and gates

All the elements of the project were to be delivered in a busy environment, directly next to a stadium and needed to be completed before the first fixture of the season.

Solution

Managing a tight programme and budget is always difficult. We managed to deliver this project in time for the opening of the season and within budget. .

We were able to overcome a positional clash between the new foundations and a historic gas main by assisting in the swift redesign of the affected foundation with the structural engineer. The project was under close scrutiny from the club and fans alike and the fan park opened to great acclaim. This was achieved by working closely with trusted supply chain partners and keeping communication with the design team open and fluid during the construction phase.
