Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium

Al Ain is the second largest city in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and is also known as the ‘Garden City’ due to its greenery. 

The stadium, commercial office building, sports center with practice pitches and associated public areas represent phase one of the mixed-used development, while phase two consists of a family entertainment centre, car park, office building, retail food and beverage village, hotel, eight residential buildings and associated infrastructure.

Developers Aafaq Holding LLC required a qualified team of consultants to manage the in-house design verification, health, safety and environment and contractual matters for the stadium-led, mixed-use project. They appointed Arcadis to lead the stadium’s innovative design and ensure it could be built quickly and to a high standard. 

From planning to implementation, Arcadis set the foundation for health, safety and environment awareness throughout every stage of the project resulting in 11.5 million man hours completed and just one lost time injury, 63 near misses, 35 first aid cases and five safety shares. 

Arcadis was appointed under the scope of project and commercial management with health, safety and environment supervision for the Hazza Bin Zayed stadium development in May 2012.
