As the weather warms up further, outside the Binhai Football Stadium (formerly TEDA Football Stadium), peach blossoms, pear blossoms and begonia flowers have opened one after another, and the upgrading and renovation of the stadium has also been fully accelerated this spring. At present, the construction of many foundations of the stadium has come to an end, and it is about to start planting grass and installing seats. As one of the venues for the 2023 Asian Cup in China, Binhai Football Stadium will ensure that it will be delivered as scheduled in the second half of 2022. This stadium, which bears the important history of Tianjin football, is being upgraded and transformed to welcome the attention of all of Asia with a new attitude.
The current stadium has not only been stacked on the periphery of various equipment such as elevators and refrigeration units waiting to be installed, but also the infield where the lawn is laid has changed from a piling site with one foot and one foot of mud to an environment where anchor grass is being laid. Around the infield, a circle of cement platforms was also laid. In the stands, workers sprayed waterproof materials. In the function rooms, workers are installing various pipelines.
According to Fang Cong, the technical leader of the Binhai Football Stadium Upgrading and Renovation Project, the construction of the Binhai Football Stadium is progressing smoothly at present, because the owner has conducted a safety appraisal of the stadium structure before the start of construction, and there is no problem with the infrastructure of the stadium, so this construction is an upgrading and transformation, rather than a demolition and reconstruction. "At present, about 270 workers are working at the same time, the installation of the fire main pipe is 90% complete, the ventilation pipe main pipe is 85% complete, the circuit tray is 65% complete, and various decorations are also entering the site." Fang Cong pointed to the workers who were working on the audience passage and said that all the locations that needed to be painted had been polished, and the grassroots treatment and painting of waterproof materials were being carried out. "Many function rooms, equipment is being installed. For example, two large diesel generators as emergency power sources have entered the field, and the elevator still needs to wait for the completion of the shaft before installation, in short, the projects are relatively smooth. ”
As a professional football field, the core and most intuitive thing is the high-quality lawn. Previously, whether it was asian teams participating in World Cup qualifiers, or Japanese, Korean and Australian players who came to participate in the AFC Champions League, they all praised the facilities and turf on the field.
With the advancement of science and technology, anchor grass has become the most advanced lawn laying technology in the world today. The coastal football field uses anchor grass technology. Piling construction was still underway in December 2021, and today, anchoring grass companies have fully taken over the site construction, "At present, 300 mm thick graded gravel has been laid on the foundation of the reinforced pile, ventilation and drainage pipe construction has been completed 90%, and now the anchoring grass manufacturer is carrying out the final finishing of the pipeline construction, and at the same time laying the gravel layer above the pipeline." Fang Cong said, "The next step will be to lay the water supply and heating pipes needed for anchorage grass." If you lay another layer of gravel on top, you can lay coarse and fine sand. In this way, the foundation construction of the anchorage grass is completed. ”
"It is expected that by early May, at the latest, the grass will be officially planted. The coastal soccer field uses cold season grass, and if the grass is planted later than mid-May, the grass growth period is over. At present, anchor grass related operations are relatively smooth, and grass can be planted on time. Fang Cong introduced.
As one of the earliest professional football stadiums built in China, the binhai football stadium does not have an athletics track equipped with a comprehensive stadium in the field, which also makes the fans closer to the grass and the stadium atmosphere is better. But this also leads to a problem, that is, the grass in the outermost circle of the lawn of the professional football field often has to withstand staff stampedes, fire fighting, first aid and other work vehicles, as well as advertising boards for a long time, making these grass yellow or even dead, affecting the visual effect.
Based on the experience of anchor grass companies, it was decided to build a cement platform in the outermost ring of the coastal football field, on which pure artificial grass will be laid. So does artificial grass affect the visual effect? Fang Cong explained, "The artificial grass in the outer circle and the anchor grass in the inner circle are the same color, so the visual effect of watching the ball on the spot, as well as the TV broadcast effect, are the same, and it is not obvious that the outer circle is artificial grass, and it can also greatly improve the pressure resistance and avoid the problem of the outer circle grass dying." ”
Now the waterproof materials of the second-floor stand have all been sprayed, and the three-story and four-story stands are still under construction, "At present, the three-story and four-story stands have been polished, the primer of the three layers has been painted, the primer of the fourth layer has been painted halfway, and it is expected that by mid-May, the waterproof paint of all the stands can be completed, and the conditions for installing seats can be completed." Moreover, the seat construction is carried out in the stands, the lawn construction is in the infield, and the two projects do not affect each other and can be carried out at the same time. It is expected that the seat installation will take about two months. ”
At that time, the seats in the stadium were the first design in China to use a variety of color intervals, and the colorful seats were particularly gorgeous under the illumination of sunlight or lights, bringing different visual effects. It is understood that this upgrade will adopt the design of the color interval of the partition block, and the color within each block is unified. "At present, the plan for the color of the seat is still under review and has not yet been finalized, but I believe it will definitely bring a different visual feeling."
In the upgrading of the coastal football stadium, the four lighthouses that were very advanced and representative at that time, as well as 22 huge "fish bones" hanging on the outside of the stadium, will also be renovated. "Now, the relevant construction departments are building scaffolding, of which 22 'fish bones' have been built 4, and 4 lighthouses are building the first." Workers need to sand the 'fish bones' and expect the new paint to ensure a 15-20 year old look. ”
The 2023 Asian Cup in China will be held from 16 June to 16 July 2023 in 10 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, Dalian, Qingdao, Xiamen and Suzhou, with the Beijing Division hosting the opening, closing and closing ceremonies and finals. At that time, Asia's 24 top national teams, including the host China team, will play a total of 51 matches, attacking the highest glory of Asian football.
In the summer of 2023, fans will be able to watch the game at the new Marina Football Stadium and enjoy the joy of football.
