TOBIN Consulting Engineers provided a number of services on this redevelopment project for Emerald Grounds. A brand new 1,960- seater stand was constructed as well as a new training area complete with floodlights, four dressing rooms, referees’ rooms, and a medical treatment room. The ground floor houses a bar and dressing room while the first holds a multi-function room. The facility also features a natural pitch surface, new artificial 3G floodlit training area, terraced meeting rooms, a gymnasium, turnstiles and parking facilities.
The project sports a completely redeveloped drained pitch, with provision for irrigation through the use of rainwater harvesting via attenuation tanks. Sustainable construction methods were used such as cut and fill techniques for pitch construction, including reuse of soil and drainage design. The overall carbon footprint was significantly reduced through design.
