THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE DURBAN ARENA DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

摘要

The ARENA accommodates events for over 10 000 people and when combined as a single space with the existing ICC, provides a covered area of 32 000 square metres at one level, with a further 12 000 square metres of open area. State-of-the-art technology is employed to allow the ICC to compete on worldwide basis with facilities of this kind. The design of the Arena Roof Structure was controlled principally by serviceability requirements. These basic parameters demanded innovative and cost effective solutions in the design stage. The sequencing and control on a restricted site was excellently executed, with the erection programme being achieved.
