Structures team works on Wimbledon's Centre Court roof

You've probably seen all the coverage of Wimbledon's new retractable roof in the media today - but did you know Capita Symonds provided Structural Engineering services on the project? (Well now you do!)

The retractable roof will bring an end to washed-out games – and potentially Cliff Richard's singalongs! (Cliff famously entertained the crowd when rain stopped play in 1996).

Find out more about the project on our website
