Arch of Khalifa International Stadium completed

This achievement marks the start of the countdown towards the completion of the renovation and upgrade works at the proposed venue, which will host a number of matches

The last segment to be placed was a 22m piece installed at a height of 120m.

A 600 metric tonne (MT) mega crane was used to lift the segment to its final position.

However, prior to lifting, the segment was tilted to the required angle at the ground level using a smaller crane.

Other major elements such as bottom, top compression rings and column segments were pre-assembled at site also using smaller crawler cranes.

Eng. Mansoor Al-Muhannadi, Khalifa International Stadium – Project Manager at Aspire Zone Foundation, said: “The successful installation of the last piece of the arch at Khalifa International Stadium shows that progress is well underway with the renovation of the stadium.

“The next step will be the installation of the roof. We have been able to achieve this thanks to the productive cooperation of all parties involved.”

Eng. Mohemed Elamin Ahmed, Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) Project Manager for Khalifa International Stadium and Al Bayt Stadium – Al Khor City said: “This is a major milestone for us that will allow the start of the installation of the roof membrane.”
