Built Environs is delivering the contract to redevelop the western grandstand for the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) at the picturesque Adelaide Oval.

This international profile project builds on Built Environs’ previous award-winning success with the development of the eastern side of the Oval and the construction of the Chappell Stands.

The project involves the demolition of the existing structures (retaining the historic brick arches) and the construction of a new 15,000 capacity western grandstand and facilities, including the construction of entertainment and hospitality areas and amenities.

The project team has been working very closely with the architect, HASSELL and Cox, along with Aurecon and specialist fabricators to refine the documents and the buildability of the design.

While the construction area will be closed to public access, the Oval and its facilities will continue to be in use for sporting and other public events throughout the program – something Built Environs has proven successful at on a number of projects, including the recent Goyder Pavilion at Adelaide Showground and the building of the Chappell Grandstands on the opposite side of the oval.

As with the Chappell Stands project, the redevelopment has a fixed (and tight) deadline – the entire facility needs to be built and ready in time for the Ashes Test match in 2010.
