Subiaco Oval
BG&E were appointed as the structural engineers for the new three tier western stand (originally named the Orr-Simmons-Hill Stand) at Subiaco Oval, a football stadium that accommodates 43,500 people.
The three tier stand has six levels and the top two levels (five and six) are covered by a roof. Access is via reinforced concrete stairs and walkways that are generally to the rear of the stand.
The structure consists of reinforced concrete tiered floor slabs. The rear is supported by reinforced concrete columns and precast walls. The roof sheeting is supported by steel beams, purlins and stiffeners.
