In construction of stadiums for World Cup 2018 it is used by Tekla Structures software

On June 14, 2018 it became known that the Moscow stadium "Spartak" at which play the games World Cup 2018 in Russia was constructed in 2014 using the software of Tekla Structures of Trimble company. This tool implementing philosophy of BIM (Building Information Modelling) allowed contractors – project and installation contractors - to qualitatively perform complex work, having met the tough deadline. The stadium has the unique structural elements. For the period of the World Cup 2018 its capacity will be 45 thousand viewers.

Moscow stadium "Spartak"

The hood giving to a construction grace and ease became feature of this stadium as envisioned by architects. In construction thick-walled pipes are used that allowed to reduce its metal consumption by 1.3 times. As a result, the weight of a hood was 8.5 thousand tons. Process of installation of metalwork contained several difficult tasks requiring technological solutions at once. So, it was necessary to execute welding of elements of pipes with wall thickness to 48 mm, with a diameter up to 1422 mm, and implementation of control assembly was the compulsory provision of the customer. Tasks were solved thanks to direct transmission of data from an information model (BIM) created by designers "Mostproyekt" to automated production of metalwork plant of "Kurganstalmost". It became possible, thanks to application of the software of Tekla Structures.

In the whole software of Tekla Structures it was applied in the process of construction of 8 of 12 stadiums to World Cup 2018, including:

• Mordovia the Arena (is more detailed about the project — here);
• Volgograd the Arena (is more detailed about the project — here);
• Stadionsankt-St. Petersburg (is more detailed about the project — here);
• Nizhny Novgorod stadium;
• Samara Arena stadium;
• Fisht stadium, Sochi;
• Kazan Arena stadium.
