Kai Tak Sports Park: Construction Update and Features of the Main Stadium

Kai Tak Sports Park

The Kai Tak Sports Park is expected to be completed next year. All the prefabricated steel components of the main stadium arrived in Hong Kong yesterday, marking that the superstructure project of the main stadium has entered a critical stage. The components were transported to Hong Kong by barge from the Mainland yesterday, and arrived at the temporary pier at the Kai Tak Sports Park site in the afternoon. The construction team said that the cable system used in the main venue has been tested 100 times in Japan, and it is the most stable and safe cover opening and closing system in the world.

The large openable cover of the main stadium is one of the main features of the main stadium of Kai Tak Sports Park. The upper cover and main steel truss of the entire main stadium are composed of 15,000 tons of steel. The main steel truss has a span of 180 meters, and the openable upper cover on the east and west sides weighs more than 4,800 tons.

Since Kai Tak Sports Park is located near the sea, the relevant components were produced in Zhongshan and Dongguan, and then they were divided into 8 groups and transported to Hong Kong by water. The project team also uses comprehensive digital technologies, such as “Building Information Modeling” and “Design for Manufacture and Assembly”, to visualize the entire construction process in advance, thereby improving the accuracy of assembly and effectively optimizing the entire design and construction program of. The project team will use the advanced “ultra-large component hydraulic synchronous lifting technology” to lift the components of the openable cover to the preset position as a whole, greatly improving the efficiency, quality and safety of installation and construction.

Liu Qiming, general manager of the contractor Hip Hing Construction, pointed out that the upper cover opening and closing system of the main stadium uses cables to open the opening and closing roofs on the east and west sides respectively. The rails on the structural frame move. He pointed out that the pull cable system has completed 100 top switch tests in Japan, and it is the most stable top drive system in the world. The main facilities of the Kai Tak Sports Park are expected to be completed in stages by the end of 2024.
