STADE DE SOCCER DE MONTRÉAL Enclosure and Railing Montréal, Quebec, Canada
M12Z-17
Completed in 2015, the Stade de Soccer de Montreal is an award-winning addition to Montreal’s sports culture. The facility is situated along the edge for a former quarry that is currently in the process of being transformed into a nearly 500 –acre ecological park. Soucier+Perrotte Architectes designed the extraordinary building to celebrate the landscape it sits on and the multiculturalism of the area. The indoor soccer field is flanked on one side by two stories, accommodating spectating benches, locker rooms, an event space, fitness room, and offices. Banker Wire’s M12Z-17 was selected as the enclosure, which doubles as a balcony railing, to protect the spectators and other people that utilize the facilities. This twin wire rigid cable weave is strong and well-suited to stop the fast approach of soccer balls. While the mesh is strong, it has higher percent open area to allow the natural light from the expansive windows to fill the entire facility.
