RAJIV GANDHI INTERNATIONAL CRICKET STADIUM
Located in Uppal, an eastern suburb of Hyderabad, the stadium complex is spread 24 acres with cricket stadium capacity 55,000 persons. It is located near hillock as a result of which the natural ground surface was undulating, having huge granite rock boulders.
The stadium complex consists of cricket stadium, parking facility, swimming pool, gymnasium with steam, sauna, jacuzzi, practice pitches facility, road all around the stadium & compound wall with entrance gates at six locations. The cricket stadium consists mainly of the play field and four spectators stands namely south stand, north stand, east stand and west stand.
We ensured some specific techniques in important areas of the stadium. The spectators seating galleries have been constructed with pre-cast concrete units to speed up the construction. At the south & north stands, Teflon Fibre roof is provided in order to reduce the self-weight of roof. Sub soil drainage system is provided in order to drain the rainwater quickly. Mote drain is provided with dual purpose to drain the water & it acts as an obstruction to people entering the stadium & offers viewing without fencing obstruction.
The stadium hosts international cricket matches as IPL matches every year and is one of India’s most popular cricket stadiums.
“While ensuring a great viewing experience, it was important to cater to various aspects like player and spectator safety, sufficient player rejuvenation, great hospitality spaces for the corporate boxes and ample avenues for top-notch security arrangements. We’re glad to have found the best balance of all these things.”
