The tensile structure for the ring-shaped roof of Madrid's Estadio Wanda Metropolitano
With pride we announce that the tensile structure of the ring-shaped roof of the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano has been completed! The Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid is a home base for the Spanish Premier League soccer team Atletico Madrid. |
|
Venue of the Track and Field Worlds in 1997, this arena was purchased by Atlético Madrid in 2013 and subjected to a full-scale renovation. Offering a capacity of 67,703 seats, the new soccer arena reopened its doors on September 16, 2017, for the first match of the season.
The stadium renovation project included a new and lightweight tensile structure, which covers almost the entire seating area for an overall surface of 46,500 SQM. From a technical viewpoint, the design principle is that of a spoked wheel: steel columns supporting an upper and a lower inner tension ring, where the approx. 50 m long radial cable girders converge supporting the membrane structure. The roof itself consists of an outer steel compression ring and two internal tension rings consisting of Full Locked Coil Cables. The system of the radial cables is installed between the compression ring and the tension ring so as to support the PTFE membrane.
The new Estadio Wanda Metropolitano will host the final match of 2019 UEFA Champions League.
