The VERTIMAX Australia team has maintained the moving roof at Etihad Stadium since its construction. After many years of uninterrupted service a need to replace the connecting slide bearing between the bogies and the roof structure arose.
As the original manufacturer of the bearings has since ceased operations the design was re-engineered to enhance the performance and expected life of the bearing.
These works have been carried out on a rolling basis and will continue until all 16 bearings have been replaced.
