Basrah Sport City
We are providing structural design for this multipurpose sports complex intended to serve as the host location for the 2013 Gulf Cup. The first phase of the project, utilizing both fast-track and design-build processes, consists of a main stadium, a 10,000-seat secondary stadium, four training soccer fields, sports team housing and a fire station. Bridges will cross a large man-made lake surrounding the main stadium.
The main stadium will be a multilevel structure with 65,000 seats, 20 suites, and 215 VIP seats. The complex will also have VIP lounges and restaurants, spectator facilities, 205 VIP underground parking stalls and a tunnel connecting the main stadium to the secondary stadium. The basic structure will be cast-in-place concrete with precast stadia seating. The roof structure will be steel and cantilever 30 meters from the back support column of the upper deck with a 15 meter back-span. The stadium will be enveloped with a curtain wall of multidirectional curved elements.
