Many iconic projects have been completed globally, adopting the Tekla Structures software. One such project is the Wembley Stadium, which – with a seating capacity of 90,000 – is now the largest football stadium in the world, with every seat under cover. After the modeling and drawing, report and CNC production phases, Tekla Structures was used as an analysis tool, examining the different construction stages of the project, utilizing data imported from Excel, and then visually indicating the progress of activities.
Wembley Stadium is situated in the London Borough of Brent to the North West of central London. During the rebuilding project, the famous twin towers of the original Wembley stadium were replaced with a spectacular 133 meter high arch, which towers over the 52 meter high stadium. As well as contributing to the stadium's aesthetics, the arch is an integral part of the stadium’s roof support structure. The stadium’s geometry and its steeply raked seating tiers ensure that everyone has an unobstructed view to the pitch. The stadium has been designed to maximize spectator comfort, providing improved leg-room for all fans, better view of the action, wider seats, and a new concourse wrapping around the building that will allow easy circulation. The front façade still follows the profile of the original stadium with a Banqueting Hall and circulation spaces.
