Aurecon has a long history of working on the Adelaide Oval including the original Bradman, Chappell and Clem Hill stands. With the AFL returning to the city the precinct has been rebuilt initially with the Adelaide Oval Western Grandstand Redevelopment which opened in 2010 before the addition of the Southern and Eastern stands in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
This transformed Adelaide Oval into a 21st century stadium, providing a unique 53,500 person facility to host cricket, Australian Football League (AFL) and other major events.
The total redevelopment includes the construction of three new grandstands – the 14,000 person western stand, 15 000 person southern stand and the 18,000 person eastern stand.
Additionally, the precinct was expanded with new facilities to the northern mound, including a new replay screen, a new entry plaza as well as basement car parking and an indoor training facility.
Aurecon provided total engineering services for the creation of the Western Grandstand, which included:
The entire existing Western Grandstand was heritage listed and the new design successfully conserved and interweaved the heritage elements with the modern features.
The eastern and southern grandstands were added to the Adelaide Oval with integrated, converged systems and networks to maximise the patron experience and stadium efficiency including:
Recycled water from the Glenelg Adelaide pipeline is used across the Eastern and Southern Grandstands to supply toilet flushing and oval irrigation.
Unlike traditional roof drainage systems, a siphonic system was installed, which operates by drawing water off the roof during wet weather, therefore reducing rain movement over the front of the roof where patrons may be seated.
Another innovation introduced by Aurecon was a dissolved air flotation plant attached to the kitchens located throughout the stadium. The benefit of this system is that it removes suspended solids and fats, oils and grease from the wastewater before it is discharged into SA Water’s network, providing a higher level of treated wastewater.
The ultimate goal of each project was to provide an enhanced game or event experience through the provision of high-quality amenities securing Adelaide Oval’s future as a leading sports and event venue.
It has been enhanced as a safe, accessible, vibrant destination that attracts the best national and international sporting events, international concerts and other events to Adelaide for the benefit of all South Australians.
