Temporary Works for Stadium Construction

Formwork and temporary works for stadium construction projects

There are two key elements to a stadium build: the roof and seating. Many of today’s stadiums and leisure sites incorporate impressive architectural feats, such as curved roof structures, and so need a temporary works partner with extensive experience in supporting these striking structures.

Given the profile and scale of many stadiums and leisure projects, contractors want a temporary works provider that they can rely on, with a proven track record of supplying high-quality formwork and falsework. These must help reduce labour time and costs, as well as improve cycle times and productivity. Altrad RMD has the expertise and capacity to assist with the construction of these complex structures, providing formwork and shoring for striking roof designs, precast concrete stands, adjoining stairwells, slabs, columns and beams.

What our customers think

“Due to the large scale, and fast track nature of the project, we required a lot of equipment to complete the stadium superstructures. Identifying the correct type of systems, amount of equipment and getting it to the site quickly was a complex logistical challenge. Altrad RMD Kwikform is keen to share best practice techniques on equipment management and utilisation, which has helped to save both time and money.” Abdul Hussain, Project Manager at Abdullah A. Al-Jilburi Contracting

Factors to consider when specifying
stadium and leisure construction project

Take into account the complicated geometries that might involve columns, stairwells and beams. For example, it is important to consider the spacing of tableforms, so that these can be easily placed and removed.
Maintaining cycle times is important to minimise any disruption on upgrades and phased constructions work. As such, it’s important to have on-site assistance for equipment flow and training support to minimise erection and dismantling times.
Early collaboration is key. At the pre-tender stage, our engineers can work with the project team to make recommendations on potentially challenging project structures and construction phases, helping to secure tender bids.
BIM and 3D visualisation software can reap real rewards. Once key information is collected, we can design bespoke formwork and shoring solutions, which can then be viewed in LocusEye, our 3D visualisation tool.
