EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) approached, NESPAK in May 2019 to undertake an

independent study to assess structural condition of the Gaddafi Cricket Stadium. After
completion of formalities NESPAK teams comprising well experienced qualified
engineers paid several visits spreading over two months, to the stadium site and collected
maximum possible data in the form of site notes, photograph and discussions with
maintenance staff etc.
In general, the Civil Work of the stadium was found in good stable condition. However,
some damages (e.g cracking, leakage, dampness, tile breaking etc.), adjacent to the
expansion joint were observed at several locations. Filling of expansion joint by
rigid/unsuitable material, inadequate maintenance and improper interventions may be
regarded as the potential causes of these distresses.
Enclosures slabs were found to be punctured to accommodate score board support pipes,
while this has no appreciable structural impact, the gap between surrounding slab and
pedestal needs to be properly treated.
Improper interventions in the structural members such as cutting of lintel and edge beams
of the outer corridor by the shopkeepers, to accommodate exhaust ducts and door rolling
shutters were observed at some locations. These needs to be taken care of by
maintenance staff.
Dampness was observed in areas adjacent and inside washrooms and kitchens owing to
the leakages in the existing drains/water supply pipes. Dampness was also observed in
walls in contact with soil.
Past maintenance record and drawings are essential for the logical/analytical
assessment. No such record has been retrieved/provided.
To conclude, on basis of visual inspection, at present there is no significant structural
distress in the stadium. However, in areas, where cracking, spalling and closing of
expansion joints is observed, a proper repair and maintenance work vide professional
team is recommended.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Gaddafi Cricket Stadium previously renowned as Lahore Stadium is an International

Cricket Stadium located near National Hockey Stadium and Al-Hamra Open Air Theater
in the famous city of Lahore, Pakistan. Nasreddin Murat Khan, famous Egyptian architect
did the Architectural Designing while Mian Abdul Khaliq and Company carried out
construction in 1959.
Major renovation/upgradation of the stadium was done in 1996 for hosting final of the
Cricket World Cup-1996. Renowned architect, Nayyar Ali Dada, was hired for the
purpose. Upgradation was carried out in Mughal style with red hand laid brickwork and
arches, which resulted in significant impact on Architectural as well as structural aspects
of the stadium. In addition, plastic seats were installed over existing concrete benches.
During the life span of the stadium, local deteriorations were detected and repair were
done from time to time depending upon the nature of the defects under the supervision
of the former PCB staff. No major interventions has been carried out till date.
During the past few years, stadium was somehow got neglected in terms of maintenance
also due to shifting of international cricket matches outside Pakistan because of terrorist
threats/activities.
Recently, Pakistan has been able to achieve sustainable peace. As a result of which,
major activities in the form of sports and other businesses are returning back.
Subsequently, PCB has also succeeded in convincing international teams for playing
matches within Pakistan. It is envisaged that all future matches will be organized in
Pakistan.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), in the above circumstances, decided to assess the
existing structure of the stadium. In this regard, NESPAK was approached for providing
visual inspection report to assess the quantum of work in terms of
maintenance/upgradation, where required.
Accordingly, a team of NESPAK professionals visited the site for the period of about 30
days to carry out detailed visual inspection for the purpose of documenting areas of
defects/ distress for effective interventions.
1.2 Scope of Work
NESPAK agreed scope of work under the contract is as follows;

 Collection of existing data/ information and/or drawings etc. from the client.
 Visual inspection of various structures of the Stadium
 Documentation of defective/ distressed areas.
3
1.3 Objective of The Study
The objective of the current exercise is to carry out detailed visual inspection of the
stadium and to develop a comprehensive visual inspection report for enabling the Client
for proper maintenance and necessary structural interventions, where required.
2. GENERAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE STADIUM
FAR END
PEVILION
PCB
BUILDING
The main components of the stadium are PCB Building, Far End Pavilion, Enclosures
(i.e. seating steps), Shops (under the enclosures) and Gates with entrance corridors.
The Enclosures consist of reinforced concrete steps over which plastic chairs have been
installed. The area under the enclosures is enclosed and consists of shops and offices.
Cantilevered steel trusses, with fiber glass arrangement, are provided to counter for
sunlight and rainy weather. Expansion joints at approximately 15 m have been provided.
PCB building is located at main entrance to the stadium. It is three storey reinforced
concrete frame structure consisting of offices, boxes, player block, dining hall, kitchen and
stores etc. with infill masonry walls. False ceiling is provided in offices/ rooms. Majority of
the floors have tile flooring. Wall paneling is also provided at certain locations in offices/
rooms. No expansion joint was observed in the building.
Far End Pavilion lies opposite to the PCB building. It is also a three storeyed reinforced
concrete frame structure housing offices, boxes, kitchen and dining hall. Masonry walls
are provided as infill walls. False ceiling is provided in most of the areas. Expansion joints
have been observed at irregular intervals along the circumference of the building.

3. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Following are the working basis for carrying out the subject assignment;
 Collection of Data/Drawings from the Client

 Site Inspection in close collaboration with the Client’s representatives
 Photography of the distress areas
 Preparation of Visual Inspection Report
3.1 Collection of Data/Drawings from Client

First step to prepare a comprehensive and logical report is to have essential record of all
the previous maintenance and structural interventions done in the past. Client was
vigorously approached in this regard to provide drawings/data/relevant information but in
vain. No such data/drawings was available with the Client.
In the absence of above data, we focused on rigorous visual inspection to arrive at logical
conclusion regarding structural distress.
3.2 Visual Inspection

For the purpose of visual inspection, a team of professionals from NESPAK along with
PCB staff (Mr. Salman Farid Khan, Mr. Zaheer and Mr. Zulfiqar) carried out detailed
inspection from time to time (around 30 visits) during the period of two month (from May
22, 2019 to July 25, 2019).
The detailed discussion of visual inspection for the following structures of the stadium is
as follows;
 Enclosures
 PCB Building
 Far End Pavilion
 Shops and Offices
 Entrance Gates
3.2.1 Enclosures
As already discussed in general arrangement that enclosures are open seating areas
made up of reinforced concrete. Half of the steps are covered with fiber glass shells which
are supported on cantilever steel trusses (Refer Figure 1.1 of Annexure-A). There are 14
entry points for the enclosures.
During visual inspection it was observed that reinforced concrete steps, slabs and beam
structure are intact. No structural distress has been noted or observed.
5
The points of distress/ deterioration observed, other than structural elements, during
visual inspection are as follows;
i. Expansion Joints
The purpose of the expansion joint is to accommodate the movements caused due to
expansion and/or contraction in the structure as a result of thermal variations. These
joints are provided by separation/discontinuity in structure and filling it with
compressible material. For these joints to work properly routine maintenance is
essential. Disrupting/minimizing its envisaged function can result in cracking of
structure.
In the enclosure area, expansion joints are provided in the stadium at regular interval
(at an approximate distance of 15 m).The presence of expansion joints is only
observed in walkways/passage (See Figure 1.2, Annexure-A) at the top of the steps
near parapet. While within the concrete steps expansion joints are not observed since
they are totally covered with tiles (See Figure 1.8, Annexure-A).
During visual inspection, it was observed that continuity of expansion joint is not
ensured during construction/maintenance works. In fact the joints have been closed
with improper material almost at all locations (See Figure 1.3, 1.4 & 1.8, Annexure-A)
thereby eliminating its intended purpose. Due to this reason cracks have been
developed and propagated in its vicinity (See Figure 1.2, 1.3 & 1.4, Annexure-A).
There is also a misalignment in expansion joint at certain locations (See Figure 1.2 &
1.5, Annexure-A).
Signs of leakage/ dampness have also been observed through expansion joints at
various locations due to improper maintenance (See Figure 1.6 & 1.7, Annexure-A).
ii. Sealing of Joints
It was observed that during the modification of the passage area of the enclosures
carried in 1996, concrete pedestals have been added for steel truss roof covered with
6
fiber glass. Passage slab was punctured as a result. Thereby a Joint was introduced
around the concrete pedestal and the passage slab (See Figure 1.25, Annexure-A).
The joint has not been properly sealed/addressed.
iii. Tile Work
Almost all the area of the enclosure has tile work. Cracks have appeared because of
closing of the expansion joints with tiles (See Figure 1.8 & 1.10, Annexure-A). In certain
areas tiles which were broken or disrupted have been replaced with cement mortar
causing unsightly look (See Figure 1.9, Annexure-A).
iv. Corrosion of Steel Roof Trusses
Corrosion of steel is observed in roof trusses at many locations specifically in steel
drainage channels between two fiber glass panels (See Figure 1.11 & 1.12, Annexure-
A). Fiberglass panels are also damaged due to improper maintenance and require
replacement (See Figure 1.13, Annexure-A) at certain locations. Pipes of the steel roof
truss also require paint work (See Figure 1.14, Annexure-A).
v. Distresses in other Areas of Enclosures
Cracks have been observed in brick arches at parapet wall of enclosures (See Figure
1.15 & 1.16, Annexure-A). Some cracks are also observed in slabs of the entrance
corridor (See Figure 1.17, 1.18 and 1.19, Annexure-A). Cracks are also observed in
plaster of the masonry walls besides enclosures (See Figure 1.20 & 1.21, Annexure-
A). Top parapet walls also exhibit cracks due to restricted functioning of expansion
joints (See Figure 1.23, 1.24, Annexure-A).
Slab in the score board area has been punctured to accommodate columns for the
score board structure (See Figure 1.22, Annexure-A). Joint developed due to
puncturing around the circular column in the slab has not been properly sealed.
3.2.2 PCB Building
7
PCB building is located at main entrance of the stadium (as shown in the above
picture). Three storeyed reinforced concrete structure houses offices, boxes, player
block, dining hall, kitchen and stores etc. Brick masonry is used as infill walls. No
expansion joint has been observed during the visual inspection.
Structural elements such as slabs (where access was available), beams, and columns
are intact and no structural distress/deterioration has been observed.
The points of distress/ deterioration, other than structural framing, observed during
the visit are as follows;
i. Dampness has been observed in walls and slabs at different locations such as
in store, media room, operator room and besides player block (See Figure 2.1 –
2.6, Annexure-B). Major source of dampness is due to improper maintenance of
Kitchen and Bathroom areas. Improper management of air conditioner’s drain
pipes can also be reckoned as a source of dampness.
ii. Cracks have been observed in masonry infill walls at few locations (See Figure
2.7 & 2.8, Annexure-B) and can be referred as surface cracks since they are
mainly in plaster.
iii. Cracks in walls of Admin office, kitchen and MD office were also observed (See
Figure, 2.9, 2.10 & 2.11, Annexure-B). Cause of the crack in Admin office is due
to the provision of door in the wall. While crack in the kitchen wall (Figure 2.10)
may be due to the localized settlement. Majority of the cracks in walls are found
near openings (doors, windows etc.). Possible causes of these cracks may
include non-provision of lintel beams, insufficient bearing of lintel beams and/or
creation of new openings.
iv. Cracks are also found in walls of the store and around opening of the wash room
of Chairman office (See Figure 2.12, 2.13 & 2.14, Annexure-B). Cause of the
crack in the store room is due to the presence of wall just behind the crack.
Thermal expansion of the wall may have caused an extra push resulting in
development of the crack in the long wall of the room.
3.2.3 Far End Pavilion Building

Far End Pavilion (See Figure below) lies exactly opposite to the PCB building besides
enclosures. It is also three storeyed concrete frame structure encompassing offices,
boxes, kitchen and dining hall. Majority of the ceiling slab is covered with false ceiling.
Tile flooring has been provided. Expansion joints has been provided at different
intervals along the periphery of the building.
Slabs (where approachable), beams and columns are intact. No structural
distress/deterioration has been observed during the visual inspection. On the rooftop
accumulation of water was not observed. Drains were clear of debris and vegetation.
Expansion joints were intact and properly covered with steel plate. Compressible
material within the expansion joint was also observed and was found intact.
8
The points of distress/ deterioration, other than structural framing elements, observed
in Far End Pavilion building are as follows;
i. Dampness has been observed in walls at various locations (See Figure 3.1 &
3.2, Annexure-C).
ii. Water ponding was observed at front terrace of Far End Pavilion building (See
Figure 3.3, Annexure-C).
iii. Cracks have been observed in walls at different locations. Figure 3.4 shows
cracks in lift wall at parapet level of roof. It is observed that the portion of the
wall constructed above roof level is not monolith with the walls of the lift well
causing development of cracks. Cracks were also observed around window
openings (See Figure 3.5, Annexure-C).
iv. Wall joint separation was observed at various locations (See Figure 3.6, 3.7 &
3.8, Annexure-C). These owe to the poor workmanship due to which proper
jointing of brick courses has not been developed. Moreover, there are certain
locations where new wall is inserted in corridors without developing proper joint
in existing and new masonry work.
3.2.4 Shops and Offices

Shops and offices are located under stepped slabs of enclosures. Masonry partition
walls are provided for creating shops. Some modifications/ changes have been done
by different shop keepers according to their needs. In most of the shops, false ceiling
is provided. The floor construction consists of tile flooring. In front of the shops, tuff
tiles are provided (See Figure below).
9
The points of distress/ deterioration observed in shops and offices are as follows;
i. Edge beam of the corridor running on exterior columns have been cut at different
locations (See Figure 4.1, Annexure-D) to accommodate exhaust duct running
out of the certain shops. No proper structural intervention has been done to
manage this modification.
ii. Lintel beam is also damaged at entrance location in some shops for shutter
installation (See Figure 4.2, Annexure-D) exposing existing reinforcement.
iii. Expansion Joints are either closed in some shops or ill-treated due to which
sealant material is removed causing considerable leakage (See Figure 4.3, 4.4
& 4.7, Annexure-D). Due to leakage plaster is peeling off at various locations.
iv. Retaining walls show sign of dampness owing to in-effective water proofing (See
Figure 4.5, Annexure-D).
v. Dampness in walls adjoining toilets and washrooms area is also observed (See
Figure 4.6, Annexure-D). Improper maintenance of toilets and washroom area is
major cause of this dampness.
vi. Efflorescence have been observed in brick masonry in shops at various locations
(See Figure 4.8, Annexure-D).
3.2.5 Gates
Gates with entrance corridors have been provided at different location through
stadium enclosures. There are total 14 entry points/gates consisting of double storey
masonry structure, circular in shape. Access to first floor is through circular stairs.
Washrooms on both sides at the end of entrance corridors have been provided.
Slabs of the washrooms are covered with false ceiling. Figure below shows front
view of an entrance gate.
10
Majority of the entrance gate structures were inaccessible (as informed by PCB
staff). Therefore, only Gate No. 1 was thoroughly inspected. Roof of Gate 1 is also
inaccessible.
The points of distress/ deterioration observed in gate with entrance corridors and
washrooms are the following.
i. Crack just below the roof slab in circular stair well is observed (See Figure 5.1,
Annexure-E). Pattern of the crack shows localized settlement. It is also visible at
the outer wall of the circular portion. Cause of the settlement cannot be
ascertained since no structural drawings are available with PCB.
ii. Seepage through ceiling due to the presence of kitchen and wash basins in the
upper floors is observed at various locations (See Figure 5.1 – 5.5, Annexure-E).
Sanitary pipes have been laid on the slabs through digging causing exposure of
reinforcing steel.
Please note that the structural drawings and design/ construction records for the
buildings are not available due to which proper structural assessment through
computer modeling and analytical evaluation to ascertain the performance of various
structural components is not possible. In such a situation, it is very difficult to
accurately predict the structural behavior of the building and to establish its structural
adequacy only on the basis of visual observations and historic accounts from the
relevant staff member.
4. GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE REPAIR WORK

4.1 General Requirements for Quality Repair
Repair refers to replacing, restoring, or renewing of concrete and/or masonry works.

The need for repairs can vary from minor imperfections to major damages resulting
11
from structural failure. Inadequate workmanship, procedures, or materials will result

in inferior repairs that will ultimately fail and will result in significant cost and time.
a. Contractor’s Workmanship for Repair Work
i. Repairs should be made such that they are unnoticeable, durable, and well
bonded to existing surfaces.
ii. It is particularly important that workers/laborers shall be fully instructed
concerning procedural details of repairing concrete.
iii. Employment of well trained and competent workers are particularly essential
when epoxy, polyurethane, or other resinous materials used in repair of
concrete.
b. Repair Procedures
i. Care should be taken that correct methods and techniques are chosen and
carefully performed for good concrete repair. Wrong, or ineffective repair, or
construction procedures, or poor workmanship shall be avoided at all costs.
ii. Repairs should be made as soon as possible after such need is realized and
evaluated.
iii. All deteriorated surfaces should be cleaned and removed where necessary.
Careful replacement/repairs shall be done strictly in accordance with
international standards.
c. Materials
i. Materials to be used in repair must be of high quality, relatively fresh, and
capable of meeting specifications/requirements for the particular application or
intended use.
ii. Materials selected for repair application shall be used in accordance with
international standards.
iii. Mixing, proportioning, and handling must be in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instruction and highest standards of workmanship.
4.2 Structural Steel Repair Work

4.2.1 Application Requirements
i. No coating system should be applied to surfaces that are damp with the
exception specifically designed for those conditions.
ii. Regardless of any additional requirements for a particular coating system, no
coating should be applied over surfaces containing oil, grease, dirt, loose paint,
loose rust, or other surface contaminants.
iii. Usage of paints on ambient conditions shall be within the recommendation of

the paint manufacturer.
iv. No coatings should be applied under adverse weather conditions such high
winds.
12
v. The finished coating should be generally free of embedded foreign matter.

Areas that are blistered, cracked, porous and uncoated should be repaired.
4.3 Concrete Repair Work

i. Corroded/unsound concrete shall be chipped and removed in order to reach
sound concrete and clean rebar.
ii. The chipping shall not be stopped at (or near) the clean rebar. It shall continue
to minimum of 50mm behind the rebar. The lateral extent of concrete removal
shall be a minimum of the length of the crack or corroded length of the exposed
rebar, whichever is greater.
iii. Clean and remove corrosion products from surfaces exposed on concrete
removal.
iv. Tie an extra rebar (not exceeding the original bar in diameter) where required.
v. Coat all cleaned rebar surfaces with a primer specified. Priming and coating
of cleaned, embedded metallic inserts of cable clamps. Wet blasting or other
approved means shall be adopted to obtain metal surface finish.
vi. Substrate should be presoaked with potable water, preceding the placement
of concrete/repair mortar. Alternatively, use a bonding agent according to
manufacturer’s recommendations.
vii. In the chipped, cleaned and prepared regions, place concrete and repair
mortar. The thickness of the member in the repaired regions should be
increased, if needed for this purpose.
viii. Cure the repaired regions with specified potable water after placing concrete.
If repair mortar is used instead of concrete, then curing should be as
recommended by manufacturer.
4.4 Repair/ Reinstatement of Expansion Joint

Expansion joints require that the facing edges of the adjoining concrete slabs are
sound so that the flexible joint sealant forms a strong bond between the concrete
slab elements.
Where considerable damage has occurred it may be necessary to carry out more
extensive repair including concrete saw cutting and edge reinstatement. Heavy duty
repair mortars may be required to re-construct the joint.
Following procedure can be used as guidance for expansion joint
repair/replacement.
i. Sweep away any dirt and debris from the area.

ii. Dig out and remove all the old material that's in the joints.
iii. Clean out the joints between the slabs very well.
iv. Apply a bonding adhesive, usually epoxy, into the joints with a brush. This will
help the new material to bond to the old concrete. Let the adhesive dry.
13
v. Insert foam backer rod. Measure the amount of backer rod and cut off a piece
that's the right size. Push the strip into the joint, making sure to push it in all
the way.
vi. Cover and seal the joint. Apply a layer of sealant.
vii. Block off the area so nobody should walk on the newly placed joints until the
sealant has dried.
5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

After detailed visual inspection it is concluded that there is no significant structural distress
in the stadium building. Structural members including beams, slabs and columns are
intact and does not show any sign of serious deterioration.
Closing of expansion joint is found to be a major cause of cracking in floor tiles and
adjacent masonry walls. This reflect to improper maintenance and interventions in the
existing structure and expansion joint without due consideration to structural aspects.
Where slabs are punctured for accommodating score board pedestals, the gap between
surrounding slab and pedestal has not been properly filled and dressed.
Removal of existing expansion joints and replacement with the new one is recommended
for its proper functioning. Gap between existing slab and pedestals of scoreboard shall
be properly cleaned and filled with compressible material to avoid any undue
force/pressure on the surrounding slab.
In addition to the above, repairs are needed for the brickwork on the walls and floor tiles.
Proper jointing of brick masonry with the adjacent wall is mandatory to avoid opening of
joints. For places where the brickwork is badly deteriorated, careful removal of old bricks
is required followed by fresh brickwork with proper anchors/ ties to support the same.
Local repairs shall be needed where there is minor damage to the façade. Moreover,
minor repair works and painting are required for the steel roof truss to ensure its safety
for continued use.
