Specialist envelope contractor Prater has won an £8m roofing and cladding deal at the redevelopment of No.1 Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London – home of the Wimbledon Championships.
Main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine appointed Prater for the £70m project which will increase the court’s capacity from 11,500 to 12,400.
Prater will start on site in January installing roofing and cladding for the venue’s new bowl structure.
The completion of Prater’s works will facilitate the later installation of a retractable roof to cover the court during adverse weather.
Kevin Smith, Sales Director at Prater said: “We are delighted to continue our excellent working relationship with Sir Robert McAlpine, having worked closely on previous projects at the Emirates Stadium and the Olympic Stadium.
“We look forward to providing our specialist services on this complex and challenging project, to ensure that the All England Club remains among the leading venues in world sport.”
