Polypipe Terrain helps
redevelop a piece of history
The former Highbury Stadium, transformed into ‘The Stadium’ residential development
An above-ground drainage system
from Polypipe Terrain has been used
on a high-profile project to transform
the previous home of Arsenal Football
Club into one of the most sought-after
residential developments in London.
Terrain Drainage plastic piping products
have been installed throughout ‘The
Stadium’ development at Highbury
Square, which now houses over 700
apartments.
The project involved the retention of the
Highbury Stadium’s original West Stand
facade and the Grade II listed East
Stand facade.
New accommodation blocks were
created around the old pitch area, which
has been transformed into communal
gardens for the residents.
“We have worked on very many previous
high profile developments and the level
of engineering expertise we have brought
to these projects has often been an
important factor in winning the contract,”
commented Adam Turk, sales and
marketing director of Polypipe Terrain.
In addition to its standard range of above-
groundsoil andwasteproducts, Polypipe
Terrain also supplied the project with
quantities of bespoke 2" soil manifolds,
which were specially prefabricated off-
site in the Terrain factory. This helped
speed the installation process and save
installation time on-site.
“The plastic piping systems we
provide are ideal for creating this type
of bespoke product,” added Mr Turk.
“They are also well-suited to today’s
construction industry as they can easily
adapt to suit the demands of off-site
fabrication and other modern methods
of construction.”
