Perth Stadium Project
Completed October 2017
Perth Stadium Project
Construction of the world-class Perth Stadium commenced in December 2014 and opened at the start of 2018. The Stadium is utilised for a range of events including AFL, cricket, rugby, soccer and concerts. The state of the art building has features including a lightweight fabric roof which covers 85% of the seats and the seating configuration gives fans exceptional views close to any event action.
Within our scope for this project, we were tasked with the design and construct contract for all the Wet Fire services which included:
- A fully compliant Fire Sprinkler System with combined water supply in accordance with AS2118.1 & AS2118.6
- Duty & Standby Fire Pumps in accordance with AS2941
- Above Ground Fire Water Storage Tanks in accordance with AS2304
- Fire Extinguishers in accordance with AS2444
- Fire Hose Reels in accordance with AS2441
- Fire Hydrants in accordance with AS2419
Challenges & Solutions
- Firesafe was engaged to design and engineer a solution to reduce the total number of sprinkler heads without compromising the integrity of fire protection provided or compliance to standards. We achieved this via consultation with the Perth Stadium Consultant and Firesafe Design and Management team.
- The coordination of the construction process and program required Firesafe to visit the site frequently in order to essentially create a base build and tenancy fitout in a small timeframe. Firesafe were able to provide resources in order to fulfil our obligation to complete design works in a timely manner and subsequently provide a sufficient level of onsite labour to complete multiple work fronts simultaneously.
