State-of-the-art fully enclosed stadium

From All Black tests and Football World Cup qualifiers to big concerts and events, One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha will host them all. BESIX Watpac was appointed by Christchurch City Council to deliver this state-of-the-art stadium, positioning Christchurch as a world-class destination for events. The stadium offers a seating capacity of 30,000 with a fully covered clear roof that spans over a natural grass playing field.

The project team was made up of Australian, New Zealand and global stadia specialists with a combined portfolio of more than 400 stadiums builds worldwide.

The project was delivered two months early, and under budget.

Collaborative Partnerships

The unrivalled stadium expertise we brought to the project proved invaluable in delivering this complex stadium. Collaboration with a local seismic engineering specialists ensured the stadium was built to withstand Christchurch's seismic activity not only on completion, but also during construction. 

Engineering Value

In collaboration with the consortium, BESIX Watpac’s Engineering Solutions team tackled the challenge of building a highly complex stadium in a region prone to seismic activity. The fully enclosed roof with a clear span required meticulous engineering to meet structural stability requirements. The team focused on studying and optimising temporary works to ensure feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and adherence to the project timeline.
