The fabrication process had to be reduced by 18 months in order to host the first match in 2013. Given that the panels measure about 100 feet, it takes about 4 months to create one mold. Hence, the number of molds required for GFRP panels had to be reduced from 10 to 5. We worked very closely with the 360 Architecture and with Bahrain based fabricator BFG to accomplish this goal. Here’s a look at the project timeline in photos. April 2010: We start developing panel geometry in Digital Project and use Excel to evaluate the design. Only one panel assembly was modeled, and then instantiated using the PowerCopy feature in Digital Project. July 2010: Brackets were designed in Digital P...
