Arkitektfirmaet HKS, som står bak tegningene til Liverpools nye stadion i Stanley Park, fikk en stygg ripe i lakken på fredag. Et stadionanlegg de har designet falt sammen i Forth Worth i Texas.

The Daily Mail melder i ettermiddag at et stadionanlegg i Texas, som arkitektfirmaet HKS står bak, har kollapset. HKS er identisk med firmaet som har tegnet den nye storstuen som Liverpool FC skal bygge i Stanley Park.

Deler av et stadionanlegg ved Texas Christian University i Fort Worth falt sammen i en haug av stål og betong på fredag. Skadene ble anslått til størrelsesorden £7M. Ingeniører og planleggere hos HKS skal umiddelbart ha startet en etterforskning for å finne årsaken til at anlegget falt sammen.

Heldigvis ble ingen skadet da deler av stadionanlegget kollapset, ettersom anlegget sto tomt da det skjedde. Texas Christian Univeristy vil også starte sin egen uavhengige undersøkelse av saken, og vil hyre inn design-ingeniører for å bistå dem med dette arbeidet.

Liverpool FC har ikke kommentert hendelsen i Texas.

HKS will probably not be able to start building another stadium until the investigation is done about what caused the collapse. Not that it matters anyway because we don't even have the go ahead to build it yet.

an hks designed stadium just fell apart. i guess that has something to do with the company that is designing our future stadium...

In your opinion - I'm guessing you're speculating AGAIN

Stadium collapse in Texas hits US architects behind Liverpool's new £300m arena
Last updated at 12:44pm on 11th February 2008


Liverpool are facing potential embarrassment after the American architectural firm who will build the club's new £300million stadium learned that a university stadium in Texas which the company is renovating has suffered a partial collapse.

The stadium seating at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth collapsed in a huge heap of steel and concrete on Friday, causing £7m worth of damage.

Engineers and planners from HKS, the Dallas firm which recently unveiled plans for Liverpool's new 71,000-seat stadium, launched an immediate investigation into the cause of the collapse. There were no injuries since the stadium was empty at the time.



HKS produced the original designs for Liverpool's arena which were rejected by co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett late last year when they ran £50m over budget. There was no immediate reaction from Liverpool FC to the news.

But after revising those plans, and beating off Manchester-based AFL's rival bid, the American company secured the £300m contract for the new ground in Stanley Park.

In addition to HKS's own investigation of the Fort Worth stadium collapse, Texas Christian University will hire independent structural and design engineers to review the collapse and examine all the findings

We don't have the go ahead from the City to build it yet, so that is not speculation.

I doubt very much that the City will allow us to build it until they know what caused the collapse. That part is speculation.
