Dugout seats are the latest addition to the fast-moving development of Everton Stadium.
The padded blue seats for the management team and substitutes are being installed pitchside on both sides of the players’ tunnel in the west stand, adding to the 45,000+ seats already in place across all four stands.
These include rail seating across the entire lower tier of the south stand for Everton fans, and newly-installed rail seating in the north east corner of the stadium, which will welcome visiting supporters.
Within the south stand itself, preliminary work is underway to install a bar that will run the entire length of the upper concourse, which provides panoramic views of the cityscape through angled, floor to wall windows.
Atop the stand, the sub-frame and support rails are now now in place ahead of solar panels being installed in the coming weeks. These panels will help to generate power that can be utilised across the stadium, as past of the huge sustainability drive.
Work is also well underway to create the concession spaces, install toilets and lay vinyl flooring in the two main stands.
Externally, work is ongoing to excavate the sand from the western elevation, where a water channel will eventually reconnect the dock system to the north and south.
The adjoining Western Terrace is having brick façade panels - matching those hanging externally on the stadium - to the walls on either flank.
Barrel cladding is also spreading, section by section, across the roofing framework of the east and west stands, ahead of an expected summer completion.
