The process consisted of SSF Ltd working via Tekla model sharing on the project utilizing BIM models and Microsoft teams during the design and coordination of all building elements within the roof structure.
FULHAM FC RIVERSIDE STAND, London
Structural Steel Formations were appointed to assist Severfield Reeve UK on the detailing of 88 no. elliptical lines of steelwork to create the soffit curve 'wave' effect, along with gutter support and speaker/lighting openings and also the plant room which is housed in the roof structure. SSF worked with SUK contract managers and design engineers to model in and detail the curved roof working to architectural IFC models imported in Tekla Structures software. Using the tool capabilities within Tekla SSF Ltd were able to replicate the architectural soffit and coordinate the support steelwork to create the natural wave allowing the cladding and sub trades to apply the finishes to suit the architects vison.
Once the project is complete, 3,900 new seats will have been built, meaning Craven Cottage will have a total capacity of 29,60O. Estimated opening date for the new Riverside Stand is Summer 2022
