The WA Athletics Stadium is the premier athletics centre and the home of athletics in WA.

BG&E provided structural engineering services for the development of the AK Athletics Reserve in Mount Claremont, which incorporated structural elements associated with the main grandstand, concourse and forecourt areas, back-straight facility, and two lighting towers.

To achieve the high quality level of finishes desired by the architect and to minimise the ‘footprint’ of the construction activities – a significant portion of the structural elements were prefabricated off site, prior to delivery and erection on site.

The widespread adaptation of precast concrete and prefabricated steelwork was particularly suitable for AK Reserve Stadium, given the repetitive nature of structural elements in grandstand structures.
