The CSCEC-built main venue for the 14th Sichuan Provincial Sports Meeting — Leshan Olympic Center located in Suji New District in China — was put into operation in August.
With a total construction area of 207,800 square meters, the project consists of the construction of a stadium, indoor stadium, natatorium, comprehensive training hall and relative supporting facilities. It will be able to meet the needs of hosting largescale national sports events.
During construction, the project team strived for scientific and technological innovation, as well as adopted new technologies and techniques in many aspects including the steel structure installation of the stadium, thus shortening the construction time and ensuring the construction quality.
The project team adopted new environmentally protective materials in constructing the roofs and outer walls, which ensures the energy-saving function of the building structures. In addition, the project team focused on the reuse, storage and infiltration of rainwater so as to strengthen the recycling of water resources. As a result, more than 15% of reusable materials have been adopted in the construction.
The project team overcame technological difficulties and has published nine papers, obtained two patents and won several demonstration project awards.
