Mound stand

Fisheye Small

Replacement of the membrane roof over the Mound Stand at Lord's Cricket ground.

The existing fabric was installed in 1986 and although structurally sound, it is showing its age with significant amounts of visual blemishing caused by pollution. Structural engineers for this project are NRM-Bobrowski and the contractor is Base Structures.
