the steel structure as well as the composite aluminium cladding

Part of the company's plans involve sub-contracting local companies which will not only assist with logistics but will ensure that local businesses derive benefit from the contract as well. A Libreville based manufacturer will fabricate and install the steel structure as well as the composite aluminium cladding, complementing the progressive stadium design.

"We are very impressed with their manufacturing facility," comments Feldmann " and it has meant a great saving on freight costs for our client as well as a substantial time saving for us. We will also be contracting other local suppliers for excavation work, HVAC and power requirements as well as other extras."

The LED display screens themselves will be made up of Unilumin P16 panels using Cree LED chips. The control system consists of an FSR Compass CP 200 presentation switch with preview and program outputs. This unit will manage all video playback equipment as well as multiple live broadcast camera feeds provided by the outside broadcast unit.
