Burton Rugby Club, Burton-on-Trent

OVERVIEW

Client: RL Harrison

Contract value: £50k

Products used:

3kN loading rectangular post balustrade with glass infill panels to viewing areas

1.5kN loading 48mm diameter stainless steel balustrade to main staircase


We were appointed to provide more than 90 metres of balustrades and 25 metres of handrails to Burton Rugby Club’s new Battlestead Croft site in Burton-on-Trent. 

This project involved supplying and installing balustrades and handrails to the viewing areas and main staircase of the new facility – with two important factors to consider: ensuring we stayed within the client’s budget, and selecting the most suitable products to provide an optimum viewing experience for visitors. 


The initial design drawings showed a vertical bar system along the viewing area, but this was not aesthetically pleasing and would have limited the view of the pitch for wheelchair users. We worked closely with the client to find the correct solution – as structural glass would have exceeded the client’s budget, we chose a balustrade system with 60×30 rectangular posts that are capable of achieving 3kN loading, with clear toughened glass infill panels. 


We also increased the height of the handrails, both for additional safety and to ensure it would not obscure the view of the pitch for wheelchair users.
