Performed services: Geological tests, Consultations
Date: 2010-2011
About the construction
It is the most famous sports venue in the country, located on the site of the former Decade Stadium, with a capacity of approx. 60,000 fans. Beneath the turf, a multi-level car park is located. The stadium is adorned by a facade and roof on an independent tubular structure.
Client benefits
Foundation of the facility in difficult ground conditions, and road design for a 150-tonne crane to install the roof structure, which operated undisturbed in various air temperatures (from -20 in winter to +30 degrees Celsius degrees in summer) on a subsoil of made grounds with thickness of more than 10 meters.

“During the construction of this very complex facility, set in difficult ground conditions, I have used Geotest’s services and consultations on many occasions. Their studies are characterized by high level of professionalism; thus they are very useful in the implementation of the most difficult construction projects.”

The biggest challenge of the project was the complex geological structure of the subsoil. Potentially unstable soils: with high-density, in variable conditions and composition, on the surface of which a five hundred ton crane had to move. Our task was to determine such a design of the technical road to ensure safety and efficiency of the crane's work.
