Assembly of the steel roof structure for the football stadium in Gdansk

The technology of assembling the roof over the stadium built in Gdan´sk for the EURO 2012 European Football Championship is discussed here. The stadium has a characteristic silhouette - its shape and the colours of the façade resemble a cut block of amber. The steel roof structure has a quasi-elliptical form, with a maximum diameter of 220 m and minimum diameter of 187 m. It is 38 m high and the roof girders extend 48 m over the grandstand below. The roof structure weights 7150 t and was assembled in 226 days.
