CARDIFF STADIUM'S BIGGEST TEST

摘要

The Principality Stadium in Cardiff normally provides the backdrop to Welsh rugby internationals. In March, it was picked as the venue for a different kind of test - as one of the 'field hospitals' which were hastily being constructed for coronavirus patients around the UK. Dragon's Heart, the name chosen for the facility, was unusual in requiring construction of a tented area inside the stadium to accommodate the clinical facilities. Its construction team was unusual too. Consulting engineer Mott MacDonald led the project team and gave the contractor job to a non-construction firm, events specialist ES Global.
