Recently, the main project of the construction project of the 2022 Qatar World Cup main stadium Lusail Stadium undertaken by China Railway Construction International Group Co., Ltd. was completed and is gradually being delivered.
In November 2016, China Railway Construction International Group successfully signed the Lucell Stadium project. As the main venue of the 2022 World Cup, this is the first time that a Chinese company has undertaken the main stadium project of the World Cup, the venue can accommodate more than 92,000 spectators, 1,000 more seats than the "Bird's Nest", and the total amount of steel used is equivalent to 3 Eiffel Towers. With a total construction area of 190,000 square meters, the project is the largest and most complex cable membrane structure system building of the same type in the world, and it is also the largest and largest number of professional venues built overseas by Chinese enterprises.
Liu Dawei, project manager of Lucel Stadium, introduced that the overall appearance of Lucel Stadium is bowl-shaped, the roof is saddle-shaped, using a wavy membrane structure, and the outer curtain wall is a golden hyperboloid aluminum panel curtain wall, like a magnificent golden giant bowl, which perfectly presents the design inspiration of the project based on the date bowl and enamel lantern.
Huang Taorui, deputy project manager in charge of technology, said that after 5 years of efforts, the project is about to be completed, on the one hand, Chinese enterprises have led many Chinese construction companies to the stage of World Cup venue construction, and also set a model for a comprehensive international management model and a high-level global collaboration system; at the same time, the project has provided more than 3,000 jobs in the local area, and nearly 4,000 operation and maintenance jobs will be provided during the event. The project also proposes to convert the stadium into a school, hospital, apartment and hotel after the game.
Today, the chic and spectacular Lusail Stadium is a Qatari landmark that Qataris are proud of. It is reported that in December last year, the central bank of Qatar issued a banknote design that included the stadium, and "Built in China" appeared in the local currency for the first time. Qatari Prime Minister and Interior Minister Khalid said during a visit to the project in March that the Lusail Stadium is not only a key facility for the 2022 World Cup, but also a landmark project for pragmatic cooperation between Qatar and China.
Hosting a low-carbon, green World Cup is Qatar's commitment, and Chinese companies are contributing to Qatar's fulfillment of this commitment. "The concept of green environmental protection runs through the entire design and construction of the Lusail Stadium, and the project uses a number of environmental protection and energy-saving technologies and makes a large number of recyclable materials, making the Lusail Stadium one of the most energy-saving and environmentally friendly stadiums in the world." Huang Taorui said.
At present, in the Lusail Stadium project of China Railway Construction 2022 Qatar World Cup Main Stadium, the photo wall with a total length of more than 1,000 meters has "posted" more than 7,000 Chinese and foreign builders from more than 50 countries around the world. China Railway Construction co-ordinated and coordinated 110 large subcontracting enterprises around the world, and Chinese and foreign builders worked together to overcome the problems of overseas epidemic, high temperature and high humidity, complex process, and cross-construction.
"The stadium's contractors are among the best companies in China, which gives quality assurance to the stadium project." Fatima Naimi, spokesperson of the Qatar World Cup Organizing Committee, said that Chinese companies helping Qatar host the 2022 Football World Cup will add color to the Qatar World Cup.
