Grandstand Construction Project

Local construction company, Gemco Construction, has been appointed as the preferred contractor for the athletics track grandstand with Patton Engineering confirmed as the structural steel and metal contractor.

This is a large scale community project that in time will have netball courts, a gymnasium, a velodrome and football fields.

Patton Engineering director Mike Patton says being part of the development of a facility that will have significant benefit to the greater Hawke's Bay community is something that the team at Patton Engineering are very proud of.

"Following on from our involvement in the construction of the Graeme Lowe Grandstand at McLean Park's great to see that we will have contributed towards sporting spectacles at Hawke's Bay's two premier sporting venues," Mike says.

With earthworks and site clearing completed, we envisage that our involvement in the project will run from August through to March 2010.

Final completion of the grandstand is expected in mid 2010.
