Tynecastle Park Stadium Construction: Installing SPS Stadia + Arenas System terraces at Hearts FC

Project Overview Tynecastle Park's transformation demonstrates the power of innovative engineering solutions. Through the strategic implementation of SPS® structural composite terraces, this iconic Scottish venue achieved a remarkable 15% capacity increase – from 17,400 to over 20,000 seats – elevating it to Scotland's sixth-largest football stadium following its 2017 redevelopment. The Challenge Heart of Midlothian FC, in partnership with leading industry professionals James Clydesdale Architects, Hardies Property and Construction Consultants, and consulting engineers Cundal, faced a complex engineering challenge: maximizing stadium capacity within severe spatial and logistical constraints. Critical project requirements Tight site access requiring innovative installation methods Need for lightweight yet robust structural solutions Rapid installation to minimize operational disruption Accommodation of 4,200 additional seats in the upper stand (Rows 11-37) The SPS Stadia + Arenas Solution SPS Stadia + Arenas terraces delivered engineered performance where traditional materials couldn't. Our structural composite system provided: ✅ Advanced Material Properties ✅ Superior strength-to-weight ratio enabling crane installation over existing structures ✅ Blast and impact resistance exceeding conventional concrete and aluminum alternatives ✅ Zero cracking, spalling, or rupturing ensuring long-term structural integrity ✅ Anti-slip wearing surface for enhanced safety performance Project Specifications Total installation: 2,050 m² of SPS structural composite terracing Capacity increase: 4,200 premium seats Installation method: Modular lightweight panels with integrated fixing systems Engineering Impact Tynecastle Park exemplifies how advanced composite engineering can overcome traditional construction limitations. By specifying SPS terraces, the project team achieved: ✅ 15% capacity expansion within existing structural constraints ✅ Accelerated installation timeline through prefabrication ✅ Enhanced long-term performance with composite construction ✅ Future-proof infrastructure built for decades of service life Installation Efficiency Pre-engineered modular design with factory-drilled hardware fixing points Pitch-side installation capability using compact crane systems Sequential bundle lifting directly from delivery trucks over pre-existing stands On-site staging flexibility with temporary pitch storage Proven Technology Heritage Sandwich Plate System, SPS, brings decades of proven performance from the world's most demanding environments. Originally engineered for Arctic maritime and offshore applications, our Sandwich Plate System has established global credibility across: Maritime & Offshore Industries Stadium & Arena Projects Bridge Infrastructure Ready to explore how structural composite SPS can transform your next stadium project?
