Wembley Stadium update
Multiplex places blame on WNSL
AFTER taking all the criticism for the overrun of the new Wembley Stadium build, main contractor, Multiplex is putting responsibility for the latest delay firmly at the feet of the client, Wembley National Stadium Ltd (WNSL). According to Multiplex the stadium
works are now substantially complete, with the exception of the installation of the last remaining seats. However, because of failings by WNSL, it is unlikely that the stadium will be able to hold a test event for 90,000 spectators before June 2007.
These failings, according to Multiplex, relate to a number of critical works and activities that are the responsibility of the client, and the timing of the completion of these works is under the control of the client. WNSL has not yet started some of these works and others, which have begun, are not complete. Again, according to Multiplex, there are other client works which must be complete before the stadium can achieve all necessary operational licences and approvals. WNSL is
responsible for obtaining approvals from various Authorities in order to ensure the stadium is fully operational for events. To obtain these approvals a series of test events will be required at the stadium to demonstrate that the integration of the safety and control facilities are working properly such that a 90,000 spectator event can take place. Unless, and until, WNSL hold and successfully complete this series of test events, and obtain the required approvals, Multiplex will be prevented from achieving practical completion. Furthermore, Multiplex has advised WNSL of its entitlement to extensions of time to October 2007 and of its intention to pursue legal proceedings in that, and other respects, including WNSL’s acts and omissions which are preventing Multiplex’s ability to achieve practical completion.
