The Hill Dickinson Stadium
Liverpool
With multiple moving parts, a large-scale stadium build, and strict performance requirements, Hill Dickinson Stadium’s need for a cost-efficient, sustainable insulation solution was critical.
The use of energystore TLA® poured insulation delivered the ideal balance—lightweight, thermally efficient, and environmentally responsible—while meeting budget targets without compromising performance.

“TLA was the ideal choice for the Hill Dickinson Stadium. After evaluating other options, TLA was selected due to its A2 fire rating, high strength and significant cost & programme savings without compromising on quality.
As the installation of the floor build up was done over the winter months, craning the volume of board insulation needed into the stadium on an exposed waterfront would not work logistically. Additionally, there were long lead times for cellular glass insulation, adding potential delays.

By using TLA poured insulation we were able to keep with site programme, and it had the added bonus that we could reduce the finishing screed depth to a consistent 50mm.
We are delighted with the results & confident that TLA will provide great benefits for the stadium.”
