SPS Terraces

SPS TerracesSPS Terraces save weight, time and cost in the construction of high qualitystadia and arenas.smartSPS Terraces weigh a fraction of concrete terraces. This enables a moreefficient use of materials by creating the opportunity to reduce the frameand foundation weights. SPS Terraces allow greater versatility in thearchitecture of a stand with longer economic spans and more serviceableconcourse space.fastSPS Terraces can be erected quickly and easily because they only weigharound one tonne per terrace and use standard steel connection details.6-10 times more SPS Terraces can be transported per truck and 3-4 timesmore can be lifted per hoist than comparable precast concrete units. As aresult, using SPS Terraces reduces site complexity and frees main cranesto push forward other areas of the programme.economicSPS Terraces deliver significant cost savings and increased revenueopportunities to stadia and arena projects. Typically total cost savings canbe between 15% and 25%*. This comes from the reduction in structuralframe and foundation weights as well as a shorter programme. Additionallythis shorter programme offers earlier commissioning and revenues.* As assessed by HOK Sports, Mott Macdonald and Franklin SportsBusiness in their January 2008 “SPS Terraces Design & Cost Assessment”.This report is available from www.ie-sps.com.3
