The objectives of Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) for the resin-bound commercial project were centered around several key factors: Durability and Longevity: Given the high foot traffic around the stadium and the surrounding commercial areas, the club needed a surface solution that would withstand heavy use while maintaining its appearance over time. Resin-bound surfaces were chosen for their robustness and ability to endure wear and tear. Aesthetic Appeal: As part of their commitment to maintaining a premium, world-class environment, MCFC wanted the resin-bound system to complement the sleek, modern design of the stadium and the surrounding commercial areas. The visual appeal of the surface, along with the option for customized colors and finishes, was essential to the club’s vision. Safety and Accessibility: The club wanted to ensure the installation provided a slip-resistant, smooth, and even surface to enhance safety for visitors, especially in areas with heavy pedestrian movement. Additionally, the surface needed to meet accessibility standards, ensuring it was suitable for all visitors, including those with disabilities. Minimal Disruption: As a major sports venue, the club sought a solution that could be installed efficiently with minimal disruption to the day-to-day operations of the stadium and its events. The quick curing time of the resin-bound system was a significant advantage in this regard.
Sustainability and Maintenance: MCFC aimed to select materials that would align with the club's sustainability goals, ensuring the surface was both eco-friendly and low maintenance, reducing long-term costs and the environmental impact. These objectives guided the selection of the resin-bound system, which offered a solution that met the club's high standards while enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of the venue.
