Weatherproofing for sports stadia

Although they are typically open to the elements, sports stadia rely on weatherproofing to protect the structure, as well as internal environments such as food outlets, shops, offices and changing rooms. Adequate weatherproofing is also important for:

• Preventing rainwater ingress and wind uplift
• Maintaining the structural stability of the stadium
• Improving thermal performance of interior spaces
• Contributing to fire safety
• Maintaining aesthetics
• Protecting electrical equipment such as lighting, sound systems and HVAC units
• Simplifying maintenance

A typical sports stadium could have hundreds of building penetrations – including rooflights, ventilation and access hatches, to conduits for electrical and data cables and pipework. Many stadia also have extensive steelwork penetrations around the roof and structure. These all require reliable weatherproofing to avoid leaks and maintain service.

Jones Weatherproofing is committed to providing fast turnarounds and we offer scheduling flexibility so that work can be carried out without disrupting the stadium’s day-to-day operations.
