Steelwork Contractor Wins Deal For Everton’s New £500m Stadium

Severfield, a Yorkshire-based steel supplier, has been awarded the contract to provide structural steelwork for Everton’s new £500m Bramley-Moore Dock ground.

Everton’s new £500m, 52,888-capacity stadium is being built in Liverpool’s Bramley-Moore Dock by Laing O’Rourke, which started on site at the end of July.

The club took possession of the site, which forms part of Peel L&P’s £5bn Liverpool Waters scheme in the city’s Northern Docks, on Monday 26th July with construction partners Laing O’Rourke immediately working on putting in place welfare facilities for the near 12,000 construction staff that will be required during the estimated three-year build.

Everton’s new stadium project is recognised as the largest single-site private sector development in the country contributing an estimated £1.3bn to the UK economy, creating more than 15,000 jobs and attracting 1.4m visitors to the city of Liverpool. The Club’s new home is also estimated to see at least £255m spent through the local supply chain with £32m going into the pockets of local families working on the build. Once complete, the scheme will have acted as a catalyst for more than £650m worth of accelerated regeneration directly benefiting Peel L&P’s Liverpool Waters and the nearby Ten Streets development.
