BGC Construction wins multi-million nib Stadium contract
Australia-based BGC Construction has secured a AUD95.14 million ($93.71 million) contract from the Western Australia Government for the phase I redevelopment of nib Stadium in Western Australia.
Under the terms of the contract, the company will rehabilitate the eastern, northern and southern sections of nib Stadium. Scope of work involves construction of a covered eastern grandstand complete with new food, beverage and toilet facilities, a 250-seat barbecue terrace as well as open corporate boxes, with a seating capacity of approximately 420 guests.
The Southern face of the stadium will receive a new uncovered permanent stand, two large video replay boards, a new whole-of-stadium PA system, CCTV surveillance system and new pitch lighting. The other work involves installation of a new playing surface between July and October 2013 and replacement of all the temporary sections of the stadium.
Upon completion of phase I of the work, the stadium will have a seating capacity of 20,500 spectators. Work at the site is scheduled to begin in July 2012.
