The Sydney Football Stadium (SFS), now known as Allianz Stadium, is a $828 million, state-of-the-art stadium near Sydney’s CBD that was funded by the NSW Government and reopened to the public in 2022.

BG&E was engaged to undertake temporary works for the fabrication, transportation, and erection of the steel roof for SFS.

These works included

• Erection staging of the major roof elements, including a staged FEA model for each roof element, with temporary supports on the pitch to control the local soil bearing and overturning.
• Review of lift studies and design of temporary supports for out-of-plane lifting induced loading.
• Design of the temporary support jigs and mechanisms to allow movement in the stressing stages and lifting of the radial arches.

The new stadium was built to meet the future safety and access requirements and boost growth in the Sydney visitor economy.
