by AF 0610 g5 — June 14, 2010—South Africa’s new Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, host to some of the 2010 World Cup’s most exciting semi-final games, is the latest example of a world-class sport complex deploying world-class technology from ARCHIBUS, Inc. to manage facility operations.

With stadium seating for 56,000, Green Point Stadium faces the formidable challenge of managing and maintaining all aspects of the property’s operations to keep it in top condition for sports fans who expect a world-class experience. That’s why Green Point’s facilities managers chose ARCHIBUS software to keep it running smoothly under the operational stresses imposed by large and sometimes enthusiastic crowds.

In coalition with SAIL (a South African Company) and Stade de France (a French Company), ARCHIBUS Solutions Centre-South Africa was awarded the maintenance contract for the 360,000 m2 (3.875 million square feet) stadium. This was a rapid deployment with the solution becoming operational in less than a month. It includes extensive equipment for back-up power, HVAC, electrical, and electronic functionality. ARCHIBUS applications deployed include: the Overlay for AutoCAD and Revit, Space Management, Service Desk, On Demand Work, and Preventive Maintenance.

Also relying on ARCHIBUS to help manage all aspects of their operations are the United Kingdom’s All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTCC) at Wimbledon, and Australia’s Melbourne Cricket Club.
