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. |
