A giant on the Liverpool waterfront, the new Everton stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock stands proud against the River Mersey.
Organised by ICE Merseyside, this presentation will be detailing the new stadium’s reinforced concrete frame and bowl, with a focus on modern methods of construction, the structural steel frame by subcontractor Severfield, and the impressive external works.
The speakers will give insight into the construction of a major project in the UK and how Laing O'Rourke have delivered the project, utilising innovative solutions to combat difficult weather conditions.
As a precursor to this event, it is encouraged to watch back the John Sargent Lecture: Dock filling for the new Everton stadium project at Bramley-Moore Dock, for an insight into how the existing dock was prepared.

Uganda records among the highest road fatality rates in Sub-Saharan Africa. The presentation will examine the current road safety landscape, audit methodologies, and practical interventions for safer roads.

Whilst engineers struggle to adapt infrastructure for a changing climate, nature is already surviving and thriving in these conditions. Using a biomimicry approach, this presentation explores how organisms on the Isles of Scilly could inform climate resilience in the UK.
