Perth's multipurpose sporting stadium is a $1.6 billion facility that has been constructed primarily for Australian rules football and cricket, but is also used for major entertainment events and concerts.
This 65,000-seat structure is part of a major redevelopment of the Burswood precinct that also serves to link the area with the city proper. The design and construction takes into account the way the sporting public expects to experience in a modern venue. The quality of the amenities, eatery zones and seating areas is of the highest standard constructed in a sporting stadium.
The design has the seating plats and roofing cantilevered in such a way that there are no supporting structures at all to impede viewing from any seat in the stadium.
Sika was consulted by the designers, Hassell Group Perth Office for the floor finishes in many areas of the stadium as well as the jointing and grouting of supporting steel structures.
The head contractor, Multiplex Constructions engaged the experienced flooring contractor, Floorwise to install all floor finishes on the project.
Sika worked closely with the head contractor and Floorwise during the project to produce a quality installation in all areas.
The result is a stadium that is a new level in event experience for the patrons, and the floors serve to lift and enhance what are normally unremarkable finishes to reflect the level of aesthetics combined with durability expected of a 21st century sporting stadium.
