The manager of Stadium Southland says there are no concerns with the construction of the new $35 million arena, which is designed by Alan Reay whose firm designed Christchurch's CTV building.
Stadium Southland general manager Nigel Skelt said all structural plans for the new building, to replace the one damaged during winter storms in 2010, have been subjected to a strict peer-review process.
Dr Reay was appointed design engineer of the new stadium before the collapse of the CTV building during the Christchurch earthquake in February last year.
Mr Skelt said it was standard procedure for design and structure plans to be peer-reviewed, and there had been "no concerns at all" resulting from that process.
The Royal Commission's report into the CTV collapse this week highlighted Alan Reay Consulting for its role in the plans and construction of the doomed building, in which 115 people died.
