Jaber Al-Ahmed International Stadium
Kuwait
For the 'skeleton' of this 400,000 m² stadium, consisting of 52 wall piers with hollow, diagonally cantilevering stepped beams, Doka supplied a ground-support-free formwork solution – a climbing cantilever formwork developed specifically for these stepped beams. This delivered massive savings in materials and manhours.
