KYIV - Olympic Stadium (70,050)

[JeV]

I know that this is Kyiv topic on this forum, but would any of you please show us or simply write down what exactly was demolished/reconstructed/added in there meanwhile? Pictures below show progress in Warsaw during last ~1.5yr.

And don't tell me that construction & reconstruction sites are not comparable. I just want to know what exactly is done from the beginning (milestones) & what is your schedule/agenda? How many people is working there at the moment? (1500+ in Warsaw every day)

100% concrete work is going to be finished in June in Warsaw.


I keep my fingers crossed for Kyiv but I can't really see how you gonna make it on time. No offence!

JeV I'm not accusing you of defeatism or smth. just believe that is doable. your opinion is different fine. Lest finish that discussion and focus on construction and timetable details that i hope Ukrainian friends will share.

OK, explain in detail why re-construction is slower than construction because I don't get it your arguments. What takes so long?

[bedicooper]

those pillars from the upper tier were demolished or deconstructed? my question is will they use the old ones or prefabricate/cast new ones?

btw i'm not sure if it is reconstruction per se. seems more like modernization, as the out come will be different then original and most of the old structure is left to be.

second question- the "promenade" ['not sure if thats the right name for it] - that level from which there will be access to upper tier, along with stairs, will they be made in concrete or steel? are any work done on that part?

edit:
i think i found the answer myself

Because while re-construction you have to adjust to an already built structure. In most of cases it's more complicated and therefore slower than starting from zero

Only about 75% of second tier will be old (modernised with sandblasting technology). All the other thing will be new.

[jacek_nl]

Right, I get it. So explain why the Lech Stadium in Poznan is almost ready, although it is a reconstruction? They had to adjust to an already built structure too. What is so difficult about Kyiv stadium then?

Poznan Municipal Stadium is completely new construction built after demolition of groundstands of an old stadium just like in Warsaw.
Guys leave that topic, you're becoming borring. The truth is, they still have plenty of time to increase the pace, a finish it on time.

It's not completely new, three new stands were attached to the one already built. So the difference is that in Poznan they built 75% of the new structure, leaving 25% of the old one. In Kyiv the proportion is opposite, which IMHO should actually speed up the construction.
But you're right, let's stop the discussion on this and see what happens over next couple of months. I will keep my fingers crossed for Ukrainians .

The pace should speed up, afterall it's not that cold anymore.

[Bartek Suchy]

I can see elements of the roof structure finally. That's good, hope that they will make it.

In Poznan stadium will be 100% new, but it has been built in phases, stand by stand (similarly to Warsaw Legia stadium). First was that small stand, then stand next to it but without the roof, and now 2 remaining stands.

In Kyiv they've started with roof construction.

[jacek_nl]

Depends what you mean new. Since the first stand was there before the decision was made to build another three for EURO 2012, I consider it the old stand - as you can see it looks different to the rest of the stadium. If it was 100% new, they'd demolish the old stand to make it look similar to the other three.

Hmmm demolition is not completed yet. They should speed up. They have not so much time left.

[Jasse James]

Demolition? What u talking about? This is Wip-tribune construction.

[Mr. Fitz]

Over two years for it to finish, they'll easily do it IMO.

[JeV]

Would you paste webcams' urls? They are missing in opening post.
