The deconstruction of the Al Rayyan Sports Club Stadium was required to make way for the new Al Rayyan Stadium for FIFA World Cup in 2022 in Qatar. BG&E provided structural engineering advice during the demolition stages of the old stadium.

BG&E’s scope included the assessment of the original structural design of the precast bowl structure to ensure that temporary load cases could be withstood by the existing structural elements. The overall stability of the structure was also reviewed during the removal of precast raker beams to investigate whether the structure was stable in the partially constructed state.

The 63 metre high light towers were dismantled in-situ in stages. BG&E provided the structural assessment of the structural steel light towers under the temporary load cases during the removal.
