New system works well with Old Trafford wings
Working with the Manchester office of building consultants Hannan Associates,
Tubosider UK has again confirmed its position as the UK’s no.1 manufacturer of
corrugated steel drainage systems by supplying the underground stormwater
tanks for Manchester United’s current £25 million redevelopment of Old Trafford.
The redevelopment of the stadium’s East and West wings, creating new
quadrants at each corner with the North Stand, will see seating capacity rise to
over 76,000, the highest ever for a UK club. Like its team’s traditional approach
to the game,
thestadium makes maximum use of its wings, thanks in part to
Tubosider’s specially designed solution.
Although Hannan Associates has been involved in a series of projects at Old
Trafford stadium for over 10 years, this is the first to include a Tubosider systems,
but as Hannan’s public health design engineer Barry Bamford confirms, the cost
and ease of installation of its system proved conclusive.
