Perth Stadium 3
INTRODUCTION
Having analyzed the conceptual design of the Perth Stadium in the previous assignment,
this paper analyzes the preliminary design and detailed design of the stadium by majorly
considering the component design, production planning, suppliers activities, verification of
production and manufacturing process, development of engineering and prototype models, and
also tradeoff studies. The system design analyzes the possible alternatives as well as feasibility
considerations which significantly impact the operational characteristics of the stadium and its
design disposability, sustainability, supportability, producibility, and constructability.
The construction of Perth Stadium responded to the need for an appropriate and adequate
space for conducting entertainments and sports events and hence satisfy the requirements of its
stakeholders and users in term of environmental impacts, social benefits, functions, and cost. The
construction of this stadium has led to the improved economic development and also serve as the
source of attraction to people who travel from far to visit this place (Akintoye & Goulding,
2012). During the construction of the Perth Design, the structural engineers developed an
efficient and stunning roof solution in close collaboration with the contractors and architects that
was driven by ease of erection, transportation, and fabrication. The metrics of performance used
to assess the Perth Stadium include the public transport waiting times, pedestrians’ densities and
service levels, and the predicted travel times.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN
Functional Analysis
The major reason for the construction of Perth Stadium was to provide a venue for
numerous functions such as entertainment events and athletics, Ruby, Australian Rules Footballs,
soccer tournaments, and cricket tournaments. This stadium will be expected to provide different

sports experiences and other entertainment events and also act as an asset for the state so as to
respond to issues such as social, economic, and environmental (Cox & Ireland, 2009).
Synthesis and Allocation of Design Criteria
The Western Australia government publicized that the Perth Stadium would be
constructed in Burswood which is positioned on the northern side of the Burswood Park golf
course. The major reason for the preference of Burswood site location was because the regions
were unconstrained by the surrounding developments and also the site was owned by the
government. The site would be accessible to the central business district across Swan River and
across Pedestrian Bridge (Culley & Pascoe, 2008).
System and Subsystem Analysis
The Trade-off analysis evaluates the alternative methods of material phase-out,
alternative factory maintenance plans, and manufacturing processes. During the design process
of Perth Stadium, there were numerous proposals on the alternative methods of construction and
capacity of the stadium. The first proposal was the development of Subiaco Oval which was later
opposed due to the high cost of development at the site because of the conditions of the site and
also the need to upgrade the transport infrastructure. The second proposed plan of the Perth
Stadium was the proposed 60,000 seat stadium which was expected to be a new stadium and not
re-developing the Subiaco Oval (Deplazes, 2011).
System Synthesis and Evaluation of Design Alternatives
The major alternative plans of Perth Stadium was basically based on the re-development
of Subiaco Oval and the construction of a new 60,000 capacity stadium. A taskforce later
recommended the construction of a new stadium in their released final report in 2007 May. Their
proposal discouraged any further development of Subiaco Oval which later the announcement by
the Government of Western Australia in July 2017 concerning the preference of constructing a
