NIB Stadium, Perth, WA
The redevelopment of NIB Stadium (formerly known as Perth Oval) has transformed the oval field into a rectangular field making it suitable for sports such as soccer, rugby union and rugby league. The world-class multi-purpose stadium has a seating capacity of 20,500 for sporting events and 25,000 people for concerts. The ground has been designed in a European style to cater for the increased interest in soccer. The development included a new covered eastern stand, uncovered southern stand, BBQ terrace, corporate boxes, new pitch lighting and a new playing surface.
Project Design Brief
The recent upgrades required an easy to maintain drainage system capable of capturing the water run‑off from the new concourse grandstands and prevent water from negatively impacting the playing surface.
