At the construction site of the Jinan Yellow River Sports Center, the entire external outline of the professional football field project has been fully presented. The areas of the podium and the spectator stands have also taken shape. The main structures of the swimming pool, gymnasium and the national fitness center project have been capped. The three-story large-span beam of the swimming pool has been hoisted. The three major venues have entered the decoration stage. Recently, the project has reached an important construction milestone. It is planned to launch multiple core bidding works on October 8th, including the procurement of football field seats, decoration materials, sanitary ware, and the construction of fine decoration works, marking that this major project has entered the full implementation stage.
The first one in Shandong! 60,000 FIFA standard professional football stadiums
The Jinan Yellow River Sports Center Professional Football Stadium project is located in the Jinan New and Old Kinetic Energy Conversion Pilot Zone, with a total construction area of 197,300 square meters. It adopts the latest standards of FIFA and is the first 60,000-seat professional football stadium in Shandong Province.
World’s first! The roof structure showcases “Made in China”
The roof design of this project is highly innovative. Shenzhen Yexing Intelligent Space Technology Co., LTD., as the core practitioner, showcases China’s construction strength with the world’s first single-layer planar membrane spoke-type cable-membrane structure system.
The “throat” of this project lies in the double-curved surface + multi-curved surface truss PTFE mesh membrane system exclusively designed by Yexing, which has extremely high requirements for precision and aesthetics. It is one of the most complex professional football fields to be constructed in China at present.
In the bidding process, Yexing stood out with its over two decades of technological accumulation, precise understanding of curved surfaces and rigorous solutions. During the construction phase, the team innovatively adopted the construction path of “suspended basket + truss walkway”, which was reviewed by dozens of experts. After review by scholars from Shandong University and others, it was determined that the plan was “technologically advanced and safe and reliable”.
The installation stage has been fully entered, and the construction has been accelerated.
At present, the Yexing project team has completed the on-site inspection and technical recheck of all the suspended basket equipment before installation. The installation preparations have been fully completed. The next step will immediately enter the installation stage of the main body of the suspended basket. All the work is advancing in an orderly manner as per the prearranged plan, laying a solid foundation for the full-scale launch of the subsequent project.
An important engine for Jinan to move towards the “Yellow River Era”
In 2017, Jinan released the “Implementation Plan for the Reform and Development of Football in Jinan City”, officially proposing to create a “Famous football City”. The construction of the Yellow River Sports Center is an important foothold for this goal. After the project is completed, it will drive the agglomeration and development of the “sports +” industry in the start-up area, help Jinan move from the “Spring City Era” to the “Yellow River Era”, and create a new business card for Jinan as a football city.
A sports center can change a city.
Jinan Yellow River Sports Center is not merely a venue; it is a belief and a dream. Let’s look forward together to the brilliant blooming of this new landmark of the city in the future!
