A significant milestone was achieved in the construction of the Parramatta Eels Centre of Excellence and Community Centre in mid-June with the installation of the grand Eels logo which will greet all visitors to the Eels’ new headquarters.
Manufactured by XL Precast, the logo was set into a prefabricated concrete wall split into two sections measuring:
- Panel 1: 10.43m High x 2.808m wide x 245mm thick, weighing 16.65 Tonnes
- Panel 2: 10.43m high x 2.835m wide x 245mm thick, weighing 17.3 Tonnes
The logo feature was transported from the manufacturer based in Yennora NSW to Kellyville in the early hours of the morning.
Everwilling Cranes provided a 300-tonne crane to lift the sections into their final
position and the team from Kane Constructions secured the walls in place. The positioning and joining of the two panels onsite signified a special moment for all involved in the project and the Eels content team were on hand to capture the moment.
