The Co-op Live Arena in Manchester is a landmark 23,500-capacity entertainment venue constructed using a steel-framed structure. The building is formed as four interlinked yet structurally independent quadrants, separated by movement joints to accommodate thermal expansion and structural behaviour. The scheme presented complex ground conditions. Adana Construction delivered a comprehensive package of works, commencing with enabling works including drainage infrastructure, service duct connections, formation of new site access routes, trial holes and survey works. The works progressed through to the full external works package, comprising Section 278 works, kerbing, paving, drainage, ducting and extensive hard landscaping.
