The Project
Inset Stair Nosings with Ecotread™ were used for the open-air 20,500-seat Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, new home of American professional soccer club Austin FC, competing in MLS as a member of the Western Conference. The state-of-the-art $260 million-dollar project was completed in Spring 2021. Q2 Stadium was strategically designed to be a multipurpose site outside of soccer, including other professional and amateur sporting events, concerts, community activities, cultural events, and private functions such as corporate meetings and weddings.
The goal of the project was to install outdoor precast staircase treads that provide slip and weather resistance, are easy to clean and maintain and provide durability. The Nystrom 3-inch model STSB-N3EECO with EcoTread™ offered the best anti-slip, wear, and weather-resistant solution for the project.
Handling the stadium’s heavy pedestrian foot traffic is easily managed due to the simple maintenance, durability and longevity offered with this stair tread option. “The installation went fine, we had no issues. The stair nosings were clean, they looked good, and the quality was good,” said Drew Sifuentes, Superintendent, Heldenfels Enterprises. When it comes to working with Nystrom, Larry Miller, Preconstruction/Business Development with Heldenfels Enterprises noted “Nystrom has always been easy to work with.”
