Short Description of the Works
Design, Manufacture and Installation of a 200 seater spectator stand for Dundee Utd F.C’s Foundation Park. Works included the design and installation of the concrete foundation.
Compliance and Standards
Our stands are erected in compliance with the “Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds” (“The Green Guide”). The installation of the stand enables the club to host SWPL fixtures at the ground. Safety certification achieved by the club.
Accessibility and Inclusion
By designing the bottom row of the stand at ground level, with adequate coverage and access, it allows the front row along the entire length of the stand to be prioritized for wheelchair users. This is left up to the club to address.
Key Features
- Seating capacity of 207 seats
- Covered/roofed areas
- Lighting installed by local supplier directly by the club.
- Future expansion capability due to the modular design.
Challenges and Solutions
This was quite a complex site due to it being within a live sports environment. Access was restricted, but due to the design of the stand, we were able to transport each component through a pedestrian access gate so that we were not impeding on the newly installed
sports pitch.
Outcomes and Impact
“The seating deck completes the transformation of Foundation Park into a top-level facility capable of hosting Club Academy Scotland (CAS), youth and SWPL fixtures for teams across the club” – Dundee United FC Website
“It is a vital part of our Academy strategy that we provide an environment for both training and playing that aligns with our ambition. Through both the hard work and fundraising of the DUSF members, government grants and funds direct from the club, Foundation Park is very much an elite facility, ideally located in the shadow of
Tannadice Park.” Chairman Mark Ogren – via Dundee United FC Website
