Client Marvel Stadium Redevelopment – Melbourne, Victoria
Sector Commercial Infrastructure – Sports & Entertainment
Project Overview
Marvel Stadium, one of Australia’s premier sports and entertainment venues, underwent a major multi-million dollar redevelopment to modernise facilities and improve structural resilience. As part of this upgrade, the project required advanced flexible piping systems capable of withstanding building movement while maintaining fluid system integrity — especially in fire and essential services. Pacific Hoseflex was selected to design and manufacture high-spec seismic joint solutions that met both aesthetic and safety requirements.
