STADIA SARDAR PATEL MOTERA STADIUM

Motera Cricket Stadium, located in Ahmedabad (India), is the largest capacity cricket stadium in the world with seating for 110,000 spectators. The existing stadium was demolished in October 2015 to allow for this mega scale renovation.

Owned by Gujarat Cricket Association, it’s able to accommodate several other required features, like Club House with 55 rooms, indoor and outdoor games, restaurants, Olympic size swimming pool, gymnasium, party area, 3D projector theatre, 2 other cricket grounds with smaller pavilion area, facilities for multiple other sports like football, hockey, basketball, boxing, lawn tennis, and finally also a running track. Teufelberger-Redaelli contributed to the realisation of this large project, and particularly to the construction of the roof. The PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) roof with a circle shape and a circumference of about 1,000m length, is supported by tension ring and radial cables, in total 280 ropes in six different diameters, supplied by Teufelberger-Redaelli. Teufelberger-Redaelli’s scope included also installation and tensioning of cables, giving a big contribution to this challenging project.
