Football stadium spectator access projects
Demountable spectator platforms for wheelchair users.
In order to comply with the UK Equality Acts 2006 and 2010, all football grounds have a duty to provide suitable facilities for disabled supporters.
Part of the design brief in both of these projects was that the platforms must be demountable in sections so that the spectator capacity allocated to disabled spectators could be adjusted to suit demand.
The programmes involved increasing the number of wheelchair bays from 195 to more than 250 positions, adding more than 150 extra amenity and easy-access seats around the stadium, improving viewing positions for visiting disabled supporters, and creating new raised disabled bays in the stands for disabled supporters.
Using a combination of standard FloorStak components and bespoke designed parts , the platforms were manufactured off-site then subsequently fully installed within the 3 week “out of season window” allocated by the clubs.
