The team of Keith McIntyre and Bent Jakobsen have been responsible for designing the profiles of many of Australia’s elite sports stadiums over the past ten years. These have been sand based perched water table constructions, These include Suncorp Stadium (Lang Park) and QEII in Brisbane; Stockland Stadium in Townsville; the Australian Rules Stadium in Cairns; the AIS soccer and athletics facilities, the National Baseball Arena, the roof of Parliament house, and the Ainslie Football Club and Tuggeranong arenas in Canberra.
Their methodology has also proved successful for a large number of golf courses and bowling greens all around Australia. As well they have been involved in the profile design and the soil and drainage specification for more than 50ha of traditional sportsgrounds; and Wagga, Hawkesbury, Goulburn, and Bega racecourses.
The strict adherence by the engineering profession to these specifications has resulted in a marked improvement in the quality of facilities, both in drainage and usability.
