The Project

Manchester City FC appointed Electro Automation to deliver a comprehensive stadium access system at the Etihad Stadium. The project required full-height and half-height turnstile installation throughout the stadium, meeting FA Specification Grade H requirements while handling the high volumes of match-day attendance typical of a Premier League top-flight club.


The system needed to integrate with existing ticketing infrastructure, provide real-time monitoring of crowd flow, and incorporate DDA-compliant disabled access gates. Custom colour combinations were required to match club branding, and the entire installation had to meet the endurance and security standards appropriate to one of the Premier League's highest-profile venues.
