Khalifa International Stadium
W
hen the 2022 FIFA World Cup games arrived at
Qatar's Khalifa International Stadium, viewers saw
an innovative and visually stunning roof system
built by Birdair Inc. Qatar has the honor of hosting the
first-ever World Cup in the Middle East, where the Khalifa
stadium is one of eight that will host World Cup matches
from Nov. 21 to Dec. 18.
Taiyo Middle East, a Birdair subsidiary based in Dubai,
UAE, designed, fabricated, supplied and installed the
sustainable membrane roof system for the stadium
during a 2017 renovation project.
The stadium's innovative roof will provide shade to
both the stands and the pitch, while letting sufficient
sunlight through to ensure healthy grass growth of the
natural turf pitch.
The integrated tensile membrane system features a
combination of three product lines from Taiyo Middle East.
The largest part of the roof system features 500,000 square
feet of PTFE fiberglass membrane. Approximately 35,000
square feet of the roof's south leading edge utilizes singlelayered
TensoSky ETFE film supported by a cable net. And
a third portion of the roof, located on the lower edges near
the compression ring, incorporates Birdair's Tensotherm
system to enhance thermal performance.
Khalifa International Stadium became the first venue
in the world to be awarded a 4-star Global Sustainability
Assessment Systems (GSAS) certification. To further
reduce the tournament's carbon footprint, a new metro is
available for fans at Sports City Station, located directly
adjacent to the stadium.
