Construction strategy

The remodelled stadium is designed such that its can be built with minimal disruption FCB normal football activity.

The following are the main strategic objectives for the construction methodology:

• Avoid disruption to normal FC Barcelona’s football activity. All matches can be played as usual.

• The stadium’s overall spectator seating capacity suffers no reduction during the works.

• The new services road tunnel around the stadium is built around the outside of the existing stadium without affecting the existing structure.

• Primary new vertical circulation cores to the enlarged Upper Tier are built around the outside of the existing stadium.

• Roof construction can progress throughout the football seasons. Work would take place during the time between programmed matches and the work made safe and secure prior to each match.

• No temporary towers are required on the arena or over the seating bowl for the roof construction.

• The existing roof over the Tribuna can remain in position until the new stadium roof is completed over the west stand.

• The stadium remains open to visitors at all times. The stadium tour route may be diverted at some times according to works phasing.
