The Khalifa International Stadium has a roof for shade and sunlight
At the Khalifa International Stadium, an innovative new roof is currently being finalized. As a result, there is more shade over the field and the stand, but also enough light is let through for a natural growth of the grass.
The ' big lift ' operation of the roof is complete and the installation of the entire roof will be ready in January 2017. This completes the renovation of the football stadium in the first quarter of 2017.
The main components of the roof of the World Cup 2022 stadium in Qatar are manufactured in Japan and the United States. A 44,000 m2 membrane of two materials is used to meet FIFA conditions regarding sunlight for the football field.
An extensive network of German and Italian steel cables weigh 4,000 tons. This construction is designed to support the 92 panels of the roof. These panels were shipped from Japan and the United States to Mexico for cutting and forming.
Khalifa International Stadium Engineur is pleased with the progress of the work. Both the exterior and the innovative roof are in the final phase. It will be a moment full of pride for all workers when everything is ready for the 2022 World Cup.
After the renovation, the football stadium has more than 40,000 seats. These seats are completely cooled, due to the warm climate in Qatar. The field is also cooled, so that players do not get overheated. After a number of tests, it turned out that the south side did not get enough sunlight. The use of other materials allowed 80% sunlight to pass through.
The new roof is a perfect engineering idea. The material used is becoming increasingly popular for purposes such as these and has also been processed at the Allianz Arena in M ??& uuml; nchen. The majority of the roof has been assembled on the floor and then raised with a large lift. The inner ring is connected by cables to two pillars.
In the meantime, the first LED screens have also been hung up for the World Cup in Qatar. The installation of the screens took place on the side where the entrance to the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sport museum is located.
The historic Khalifa International Stadium is undergoing a major renovation to meet the conditions that FIFA sets for a football stadium in which the World Football Championship will be played. A new building on the east side is being built, as well as a museum and a roof that covers all seats.
A total of more than 5 million working hours were spent on the renovation, without wasting time. Safety is a top priority according to FIFA and Qatar.
The stadium has a great historical value in the sporting history of Qatar. Many important regional and international matches have been played since it was built in 1976.
In the stadium 2022 matches up to and including the quarterfinals will be played during the World Cup.
