Our on-site delivery teams collaborated seamlessly with a central design and commercial team, ensuring precision and efficiency throughout the project.

iEDM was chosen for this prestigious role due to our extensive experience as a principal contractor on major overlay projects in Australia and our deep-rooted relationships with the overlay supply chain in the country.

The project presented a unique blend of standard event overlay equipment and bespoke design solutions crafted to meet FIFA's stringent international standards. As part of our commitment to sustainability, iEDM minimised the transport of overlay equipment by sourcing locally while prioritising equipment that required minimal fabrication.
