The Etihad Stadium in Manchester, (formerly the Commonwealth Stadium and City of Manchester Stadium) is the home of Premier League football club Manchester City and is the 6th largest football stadium in England with a capacity of 53,400. Originally built to host the 2002 Commonwealth games, the stadium has since staged England football international matches, rugby league matches, world title boxing events, summer music concerts and the 2008 UEFA cup final. After the Commonwealth games, the stadium was converted a from a 38,000 capacity athletics arena into (initially) a 48,000 all-seater football stadium, which in 2003, Manchester City agreed to lease from Manchester City council, moving from their Maine Road home.
With a requirement for high quality emergency exit signage in a variety of areas within the stadium and campus, Orbik were well placed to provide a selection of products from our extensive range. IP65 Pescara 230V slaves running from a central system along with 3 hours maintained emergency Romney's, Calabor's, Savona's and IP20 Pescara's were all supplied as solutions to these requirements by providing a safe environment for supporters, visitors and staff, as well as reducing maintenance and energy consumption.
