MODULAR GRANDSTANDS FOR EURO 2016

France will host the next Euro 2016. For this exceptional event, 10 stadiums have been selected.

BORDEAUX GETS A NEW STADIUM

In Bordeaux, as the Stade Chaban Delmas is too outdated, the city will have a new venue for hosting the competition: the Stade Bordeaux Atlantique, whose original architecture will be magnificent.

This stadium will be modular to host not only football matches but also rugby and concerts. Hence the need for a structure adaptable to each event. To meet this requirement, Alcor Equipment was chosen by the consortium (GTM, Vinci) responsible for construction to equip the stadium with modular grandstands.

ALCOR CHOSEN FOR THE MODULARITY OF ITS GRANDSTANDS

The grandstands manufactured by Alcor Equipment will be located behind the goals and will integrate into the concrete construction by matching the dimensions of the landings and steps. The seats installed will be the same as those throughout the stadium, and the circulation floors will be the same color as the concrete aisles to maintain harmony and architectural unity.

Modularity being at the heart of the project, the modular grandstands will be removable to change configuration:

• In rugby mode, the stands will be removed to enlarge the field.
• In concert mode, openings will be created by removing the grandstands to provide access to the turf. It is the entire know-how and expertise of Alcor Equipment that allowed meeting the requirements of the constructor and the operator to win this contract.
