AAMI Park (Melbourne Rectangular Stadium)
 

Orrcon Steel continues to make its mark in major construction and infrastructure projects supplying structural steel hollow sections to some of the most critical applications to support innovative design concepts - one such as AAMI Park (Melbourne Rectangular Stadium) - Melbourne's latest sporting icon.

Located on the Edwin Flack Field in the Olympic Park precinct, the new infrastructure provides Melbourne with a world-class sports and events arena. Orrcon Steel's structural hollow sections support the stadium's innovative roof structure - a cutting edge Bioframe design with a geodesic dome roof.

Supplying 1,300 tones of steel to Grocon for the project, products include Circular Hollow Sections 139.7 - 457 OD and also heavy walled pipe in 508 OD.The stadium provides the missing link in Melbourne's sporting infrastructure for a medium size, purpose-built rectangular pitch stadium.

AAMI Park boasts a capacity for over 31,000 spectators. Now fully operational, the $268 million stadium will be home to the NRL club Melbourne Storm, and A-League team Melbourne Victory.

It also features a sports campus, including an elite training centre and office accommodation which will rival some of the world'best sporting arenas.
