Qatar stadium achieves major milestone
01 November 2016
Al Rayyan Stadium, the proposed host venue through to the quarter-finals for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar, achieved a major milestone last month (October) as the first concrete was poured at the stadium’s west stand five weeks ahead of schedule.
The main contractor for Al Rayyan Stadium is a joint venture between Qatar-based Al-Balagh Trading & Contracting Company and Indian construction company Larsen & Toubro.
The concrete pouring signifies the commencement of a new phase in the construction of the stadium of one of Qatar’s most popular sports clubs, after starting the foundation excavation, the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) said.
Youssif Al Musleh, the competition venues deputy executive director at the technical delivery office of the SC, said: “We are pleased with the progress being made on the site of Al Rayyan Stadium, which will be the home of Al Rayyan Sports Club, with one of the biggest fan bases in Qatar. Following the recent completion of the training sites for the team, the concrete pouring is another significant step forward towards the completion of the stadium by 2019.”
Over 100,000 cu m of concrete and 6,700 tonnes of structural steel will be used during this phase of the project.
