This indoor venue seats 18,000 guests and is designed to host world-class concerts, sport events and corporate functions. It is Abu Dhabi’s first large-scale indoor live event arena. The design of the arena is inspired by the woven mesh of the baskets used by the Bedouin tribes which reflects the well-known and world-famous Arabic hospitality. 20.000m2 of KingZip Linea Standing Seam System with four different buildup configurations were designed and installed on the project to meet the performance requirements of a multilayered envelope system and to marry the design requirements with deep engineering. KingZip Walkways and Kingspan SafePro2 systems were also utilized on the project as the fall protection system of the roof structure.
