Work continues to ramp up on the long-awaited redevelopment of Wrexham’s historic stadium.
Fresh drone footage has now captured a key milestone in the construction of the new Kop Stand.
Kop Stand redevelopment reaches key moment as second slipform begins to rise
New footage from the redevelopment site at the Racecourse Ground shows a significant step forward in the construction of the new Kop Stand for Wrexham AFC.
The latest update captures the ‘massive moment' the second slipform structure begins to rise, with concrete pouring underway as crews start building the lift shaft and stairwell closest to the nearby student accommodation.
Slipform construction allows concrete structures to be poured continuously, enabling key parts of the stand to gradually rise skyward as the build progresses.
Alongside the headline moment, workers are continuing with rebar installation, formwork preparation and further concrete pours across the site as foundations are prepared ahead of the arrival of the steel framework that will eventually shape the new stand.
The redevelopment forms part of the ongoing transformation of the Racecourse Ground under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
FGG says: Positive update for Wrexham fans
For Wrexham supporters following every stage of the Kop redevelopment, this marks another encouraging moment in the project.
While much of the early work has taken place below ground, the start of the slipform rise means visible elements of the structure are now beginning to appear.
With foundations progressing and preparations underway for the steel structure, the project is gradually moving from groundwork to the more recognisable stadium build phase – something that Wrexham fans have been eagerly waiting to see.
