Description
The Canary Islands designated as secondary venue of the 2014 Basketball World Cup began the island's most important public works. With a seating capacity between 10,000 and 11,000, its multi-purpose nature will allow hosting both sporting (basketball, volleyball, tennis, etc.) and cultural events.
Its rectangular dimensions are 123.5 x 93 m, with a height of 24 m and a depth between -5.4 and -12.36 m.
The building façades are 20 cm thick concrete walls, supported on buttresses of 0.5 x 3.8 m every 6 m.
The width of the buttresses decreases before reaching the top. Thus, the steel trusses that sustain the roof will rest on these buttresses.
ULMA Solution
Main conditions for the construction of the walls:
- Observing the pattern defined for the joints in front view, both vertical and horizontal. This was done with ENKOFORM V-100 formwork.
- Align the tie holes horizontally and vertically.
- Avoid bigger holes due to climbing cones. The Cone AWF is placed at the position of a tie rod. At removal it leaves a mark identical to the one of a tie rod.
Wall climbing:
- Outside: 21 m2 big formwork units on climbing bracket.
- Inside: internal climbing platform supporting on folding brackets fixed on the buttresses.
