The Khalifa Stadium in Doha, has a fully glazed wall, which rises in an inclined moon-shaped arch from 8 metres to 25 metres, then back to 8 metres.
The main problem was access, together with the raising and positioning of the 200kg glazed panels. NSS solved the problem by designing and building an inclined aluminium tower, 7.5m long, with a central material hoist, that carried and positioned the panels. As the height increased, a unique rising tie system allowed the tower to be erected with the rising panels, while still safely attached to the building.
