Particularly, it has to be made clear that the production has been focused on realizing the Stadium and the two annexed training fields, in order to achieve the aim to be ready for playing CAN 2019 games. That’s why the works completion date has been fixed at the end of September 2018 only for Stadium and training annexed fields without any actual reference to the contract’s contents.

  1. Trend of works

Download in PDF the table of trend of works

Trend of total works corresponds to about 14.00% of the works of the Stadium

Weather conditions

During the whole month of October 2017 weather conditions have not affected trend of works. Rainfalls have been even heavy, but not unexpected (rainy season in Douala cannot be considered as an unexpected event). Anyway, all piling works (deep foundations) have been slightly made more difficult for the massive existence of water and mud inside the pile holes. For this reason pile holes walls have been prevented against collapsing with metal pipes, extracted while pouring concrete inside pile holes.

Problems encountered

The problems encountered in October 2017 are normal usual problems related to construction works: materials, equipment, safety instructions, … None of these usual problems has affected trend of works.

Mobilization and General

Mobilization/General/site construction’s activities/supplies are almost completed (official percentage: 83%). The only parts remaining are those ones connected with future concrete precast production (under construction - at 70% of completion) and with all dormitories for Turkish workers (almost completed).

Concrete batching plant is operating as well as local laboratory for testing materials (concrete and steel above all).

Earthworks (Stadium)

Excavation in Stadium area is:

  • completed in the West side

  • essentially completed in the North side (98%)

  • underway in the East side (90%)

  • underway in the South side (90%)

  • underway in the central area/soccer field (90%).

Concrete Works (Stadium)

Current works related to this item can be described as follows:

  • Foundations works: deep foundations (piles) can be considered almost completed (only East side hasn’t been completed yet), while surface foundations are going on in all areas except for the West one, in which they have been already completed.

  • Above-ground elevation works: these works essentially mean grandstands for spectators and slabs for various levels. These works are going on only in the main central West side of the Stadium.
