Main Stadium
Indoor Sports Centre
Public Sports Ground
The main stadium will be built by concrete precast. The shape of the precast would look like staircase, while the 50,000 seats will be installed on top of the staircase and the E&M services will be installed under the staircase. To match with the tight construction schedule, cast-in anchors will be casted in the precast factory in mainland for the E&M fixing on-situ. Also to meet the flexibility requirement, cast-in anchors will be used for the seat fixing. The entire precast unit will be lifted by Ramset Reid Lifting system with lifting anchors and lifting clutches.
RamsetReid lifting system has provided outstanding benefits over the traditional lifting listed below:
- Test report on tensile strength test are provided, and annually renewal on the test report to fulfil HKHA requirement.
- In-house tensile strength test for each batch of production to ensure RamsetReid product in good condition and quality.
- RamsetReid special design clutch is paired up with RamsetReid Lifting anchors to ensure safe lifting on site. The clutches conducted non-destructively proof tested to 2 times the safe working load prior to leaving the factory.
- Calculation and design services on lifting are provided to customer for choosing right lifting solution which suit for the Precast CoP with FOS = 4.
