Local manufacturing helps shape Penrith Stadium

The new Penrith Stadium is taking shape with the support of Australian manufacturing, following the development of a custom steel section specifically for the project. 

When the stadium's east bowl and west roof structures required a 250OD circular hollow steel section that was not available from any Australian manufacturer, head contractor John Holland worked with Orrcon Steel Manufacturing to develop and produce the product locally at its Unanderra facility. 

The collaboration resulted in approximately 62 tonnes of Australian-made structural pipe being supplied to the project, supporting key stadium structures while maintaining a fully domestic supply chain from steel production through to installation.
