• With such a major upgrade in such a tight deadline, MCA turned to the masters in
the illumination business, Bajaj Electricals Ltd., for a game-changing assist.
• BEL brought in a specialised project execution team for this task. The entire project
was further segregated into two major blocks to simplify the complexity of the task
 CHALLANGES
 Lighting Design:
•Huge canopy obstructions over the spectator’s stand, which were a part of the
renovation, led to an enormous shadow being cast on the field of play (FOP) area
•Acute space constraint at the site led to asymmetrical location of all four masts.
BEL had to adhere to requirements of vertical illuminance level w.r.t. all camera
locations, balancing between vertical and horizontal illuminance level as well as
providing proper uniformity level on the playing arena
•Also, Bajaj had to restrict light spillage as there were residential properties nearby.
Light pollution was another aspect that had to be taken into consideration while
executing the project
 Project Execution:
•Acute space constraint for handling the erection of masts at designated locations
•No space for movement of crane for installing masts
•Near proximity of western railway high tension line to the masts. Several objections
from railway division for the same!
•No space for storing the material at site, resulting in unnecessary back and forth
and the timelines getting affected several times
 PLUS POINTS
• Wankhede stadium is among worlds’ greatest 5 Cricket Stadiums.
• Whole roof is supported on large cantilever pipe trusses covered with teflon sheets.

• Stadium have biggest dressing room than any other Stadiums.

• There is special arrangement for broadcasting screens.

• Special arrangement for cameras, broadcasting units and press box.

•Grand Stand
 SALIENT FEATURES
• North and South stands are newly constructed. The structure rests on piles and on footing in few
areas.
• The RCC elements comprises of raft, retaining walls, pile caps, footings, columns, inclined deck
beam and slabs etc.
• In case of East and West stands, area admeasures approx. 3500 sq mtrs. Existing foundations and
supporting columns were strengthened for chair seating arrangement without any alteration in the
seating capacity and stadium profile in view of its close vicinity to the Western Railway track.
• The strengthening was done using fiber reinforced Kevlar by introducing composite columns.
ŸDesign of foundation for a 70 meter high mast, four in numbers, resting over pile foundation for
lightening the ground during nights.
• The stadium is covered with aesthetically appealing and elegantly spaced structural steel roofing.
• The challenge was to design a 22 meter cantilever and its supporting system using bent tubular hollow
steel sections fabricated out of plates of different thicknesses and of varied diameters.
• The steel roofing comprises of 45 trusses connected by compression rings.
• The total tonnage of structural steel consumed was approx. 4000 MT. Handling of these massive steel
columns and cantilevers were an uphill task. Thus, the complex and intricate design involved
detailing, bending, fabricating, transporting, lifting and erection of steel components of various sizes
to provide intended look to the roofing.
• ŸDue to the space constraint, the steel truss members were fabricated out of Mumbai, transported to
site and then erected using high capacity crawler mounted cranes with varying (125-250T) booms
lengths.
 SALIENT FEATURES
• In totality, there were 370 such truss members. A series of 90 compression rings fabricated
using 350mm dia tubular hollow sections are connected to the roof trusses, with outer radius of the
rings being approx. 80 meters.
• Construction of a stadium with huge quantum of concrete was just impossible in a relatively short
duration, without sizable quantities of shuttering, scaffolding, staging material for RCC works and
massive temporary supporting arrangements for holding the trusses till the compression ring was
complete.
• The structural design is carried out taking into account the composite action of the columns for
earthquake resistance.
• The entire structural steel roofing was covered with PTFE coated glass tensile fabric. A special team
was flown to Sri Lanka for testing the fabric material and approving its quality.
• ŸHeavy columns sections extending beyond the top edge of the stadium and each unit weighing in
tonnes were fabricated out of three tubular hollow pipes in a triangular profile fabricated out of
various diameter MS pipes. Designing of the 22 meter cantilever and its supporting system was a real
challenge.
• Seven entrance gates, twenty staircases, eighteen lifts,and thirty-five emergency exits, ensures faster
movement and high standard of safety. The 25-meter cantilevered roof is the most interesting feature of the
stadium. It completely opens up the stands, as no pillars or supports come in the way of the spectator’s view.

The Structure
• The structure basically has four areas identified as ‘The Stands’ viz. North, South, East and West Stands.
• The East Stand abuts the Western Railway line, whereas the West Stand is towards the sea front.
• As per the new construction, North and South Stands have five levels of seating whereas the East and West Stands have
three levels.
Exposure Condition
• Exposure conditions considered in the designing of structural elements was assigned as severe as stipulated in the Code.
• The cover to reinforcement was proposed accordingly. To avoid any atmospheric action on the structural steel elements
since the stadium is on the coast, an anti-corrosive paint coating of appropriate thickness is applied to the exposed
structural steel portion.
Controlling the Field Work
• Larsen & Toubro was entrusted the contract for the entire stadium reconstruction.
• Their major scope of work for the stadium reconstruction included the following:
ŸAll Civil, RCC, structural and allied works for the reconstruction south basement and superstructure of North & South
stands and refurbishment of East and West Stand
ŸStrengthening of East & West stand by means of jacketing/fiber wrapping, epoxy treatment, polymer treatment including

reconstruction of toilet boxes and its plumbing systems

ŸEngineering, supply, fabrication, assembly and erection of high strength M.S. Tubular steel structure with its associated

roofing system made of composite textile membrane and its supporting structures for all the four stands
ŸWaterproofing system treatment to basement, underground structure and toilets, balconies, chajja etc.

ŸPublic health engineering services covering plumbing with its U.G. Tank and O.H. Tanks and its distribution network and

its sanitary system with its drainage network for all the stands besides storm water and field drainage system
Fire protection system complete with pumping and distribution network
ŸElectrical distribution system with H.T. & L.T. sub-stations and its network as specified and the lighting

system for common areas

ŸExterior finishes with dry cladding and structural glazing and painting complete asper architectural design

Tubular Structural Works

• Building the structure with its unique shape involving bending of pipes, profile cutting, cantilever with 20
meter involved several challenges and engineering expertise.
• TheNstadium roof tubular structure consists of 45 trusses connected with 45 inner compression rings and
45 outer compressions rings.
The total scope of the roofing structure was approx 4300MT of the tubular pipe structure with the tensile
plate and the gutter plates. The 45 truss was connected to the concrete columns through connecting plates and
insert plates.
• The scope of the work was complete detailing, bending, fabrication and erection of the fabricated
components. Design of the connections of the trusses and the connecting members was proposed in such a way
so as to increase the speed of erection.

 North Stand
Any and every discussion on the Wankhede is incomplete without a mention of the
iconic North Stand. Offering a 75-degree view, long-offish (fine-legish if the bowler is
running into you), so to speak and home to the ‘North Stand Gang’, its occupants have
been the most knowledgeable. So much so that they can call a slower ball from up

Sunil Gavaskar Pavilion
To the left of North Stand is what used to be officially called ‘East Stand’. That’s how it’s
known colloquially, even today. Named after one of the greatest opening batsmen of all
time, it is the ‘common’ man’s enclosure. This stand gives you the best entertainment
at pocket-friendly prices. And, yes, it doesn’t have a roof, so you’re bound to fight the
sun. This enclosure abuts the Western Railway tracks. It is a delight to be here on an MI
match day, because many a six lands here. For the record, Gavaskar would first
acknowledge the cheers from the East Stand upon reaching a milestone.

MCA Pavilion
It pays to find a seat at the MCA Pavilion. Thronged by youngsters who spend more time watching who’s walking up and down the
dressing room stairs, this enclosure is a selfie-seeker’s delight. Who knows, Rohit Sharma could be in the mood to oblige you!
That’s not all. The MCA Pavilion offers a fantastic view and is usually occupied by ‘cricket people’.

Grand Stand
Right above the bowler’s arm: that’s how simply one can explain the view from the top tier of the Grandstand. Situated on top
of the dressing rooms, it is where you want to be. Watch out for the straight hits over the sight screen
Garware Pavilion
was being built in 1974, the Garware Group of Industries had contributed a whopping Rs 12 lakh to the cause. And the Mumbai
Cricket Association rightly honoured its benefactors. It is arguably the most high-profile pavilion at the Wankhede, replete with a
grand entrance. The Wankhede also houses the Garware Club House, a recreational facility to the who’s who of the city. If you ever
meet the gift fairy, ask her for a ticket to the Garware Pavilion. You’ll love the experience
