Croke Park Stadium

In September 2022 JP Corry were asked by Clive Richardson Ltd to supply 414m of 300mm channel to be installed in Croke Park Stadium, Dublin, home of GAA sports in Ireland.

Unlike standard channel this channel was to come with a solid top, rather than a grating, to accommodate HVAC and telecoms requirements around the ground and to allow quick and easy insertion and removal of television cabling, required for covering live events, thus ensuring a safe environment for the 82,300 capacity audience moving around the arena.  As this stadium not only holds sporting events but also concerts for the likes of Garth Brooks, Robbie Williams, Coldplay etc the channel covers required a load duty of E600 (60 Tonne) to allow for construction traffic needed during the erection and removal of stages, lighting & sound equipment. Our suppliers Hauraton were happy to rise to the challenge to produce this significant order in their state of the art manufacturing facilities in Rastatt, Germany and deliver to Dublin for installation prior to a hard deadline of a Cup Final match on the 21/1/23.

Due to the success of this initial order Clive Richardson Ltd have again been instructed by the GAA, in December 2024, to install an additional 90m of this channel to facilitate further expansion work around the ground.
