Stadium Leisure Complex, York

The new Stadium Leisure Complex Project in York will combine sport, health and educational facilities.

Once completed, it will include an 8,000 all seater stadium to be shared by York City Football Club and York City Knights Rugby League Club, along with swimming facilities, a cinema, gym, dance studio and a sports hall with spectator seating. The scheme will also house a wide range of community facilities, catering and hospitality venues and family leisure activities.

Centrum Pile supplied Buckingham Group the 925 No. 250mm square precast concrete piles, with pile lengths varying from 9 to 14m. The piles provided the foundations for the Retail, Leisure and East Stand buildings. Owing to the offsite benefits of precast piling in relation to low carbon footprint, factory quality piles and no spoil away during installation, the Foundations Estimator for the project, Euan Allison, commented:

“Quite simply, we are putting less material in the ground, to achieve the same end”.
