Overview

Manchester City Football Club are unlike most in the UK when it comes to their campus which is situated to the east of the city centre. Not only do they have their main stadium, they also have their academy and women’s teams pitch literally a stone’s throw away which is what we helped to complete.

We were predominantly focussed on drainage and service installation for the new training facility and headquarters for the now six time Premier League title winners. However we also did the foundations as well as other hard landscaping aspects.

What did we do?

For this project we were heavily focussed on the drainage as we installed 2,000 metres of drainage, 40,000 metres of service ducting for the facility and rainwater harvesting tanks.

But we also did reinforced concrete foundations, concrete floor slabs and put in flood lighting columns in order to illuminate the pitches on dark winter evening matches, or late night summer kick-offs.

A facility like was definitely going to be in need of car parking so we did the surfacing to make space for over 1500 cars.
