After spending a successful season at Chelsea's Cobham traing ground carrying out concrete repairs, the Company was finally promoted to the Premier League to carry out a variety of projects ar their Stamford Bridge Ground.

As part of the refurbishment of the South Stand new openings were cut through concrete walls and to give improved access to the stand.  Making good to the areas was carried out with steelwork and hand applied repair mortars.

During the close season in Summer 2005 corporate hospitality facilities in the East Stand were upgraded.  The company carried out rescreeding for the full width of the stand using site batched mixes incorporating admixtures to facilitate new seating in these areas.

2During the 2006 close season further improvement work was carried out at the Stamford Bridge ground.

This in turn resulted in the Company negotiating further work to the East and South Stands.

PROJECT PROFILE

Chelsea FC

New flights of concrete steps were cast for the height of the South Stand as stewards’ seating was modified.  Dowel bars were drilled and resin anchored to the existing terracing followed by casting of prebagged concrete that was mixed adjacent to the pitch and carried up the terracing.

The Home Dug-Out was also upgraded in the same period.  Improved sighting of the pitch for both manager and players was achieved by cutting of walls and making good with hand applied mortars. In addition the floor level was raised by removal of existing floor covering followed by recasting of the slab with prebagged concrete laid to falls.

Once the season was under way it was commented upon by SKY Television that whilst the Home Dug-out was a vast improvement, the Away team still had to make do.  With a week we were back and the Away Dug-out was given the same treatment.
