Arsenal Emirates Stadium
Major ProjectsBACKGROUND
TSL was approached to tackle the intricate challenges posed by the deteriorating roof of the prestigious Emirates Arsenal Stadium. Conditions required specialised attention to detail and an approach beyond standard construction protocols.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
The initial scope was for a roof repair, focusing on the replacement of the GRP sheets with our newly designed polycarbonate sheets and the application of a waterproof coating. The scope quickly expanded to include:
- Installation of a Triflex ProTect liquid applied waterproofing system.
- Installation of new walkways with a Triflex walkway system.
RESILIENCE IN TIMING
Working in a live stadium environment posed unique challenges. With 26 fixtures accounted for in our work schedule, a complete roof handover was required before each event. Post-event, the site was returned to TSL to continue construction.
With shifts in weather conditions to contend with, our team re-sequenced work to adapt, adding an increased workforce, and additional safety nets to expedite the project timeline.

MEETING EXCEPTIONAL DEMANDS
With severe loading restrictions to the external concrete boulevard, the UK’s first hybrid crane was used for material delivery and rubbish removal, accommodating pedestrian access surrounding the stadium.
Despite unexpected events impacting the programme, our resource management ensured the project was still delivered within budget and on time, being handed over to the client ahead of the new football season. Our agile approach ensured that we stayed on course, keeping both safety and quality at the forefront.
AWARD WINNING
Following the successful completion of such a unique, highly challenging and technical project, TSL was awarded ‘Highly Commended’ at the LRWA awards gala and is currently a finalist for the NFRC roofing awards.
