Seat Installation Begins at Chinese-funded Morodok Techo Stadium

Installation of the concrete spectator seating has begun at the Morodok Techo National Stadium following 16 months of extensive construction work. The Morodok Techo National Stadium is located in Prek Tasek, Khan Russey Keo, Phnom Penh and is to be the venue for the 2023 ASEAN Games.

On 09 January, 2019, the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), the company responsible for the construction of the project, organised an official ceremony to kick off the seat installation in the stadium. The event was attended by H.E Thong Khon, President of the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC) and Minister of Tourism.

The heavy concrete seats weigh about 9.74 tons for each section and have been carefully designed and equipped with a QR code system to check the specifications of each seating section before it is installed. Around 4,624 pieces of concrete seating, 2,392 concrete stairs, and 192 handrails totaling to about 7,208 concrete pieces will be installed using giant crawler cranes.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, H.E Thong Khon said that “the installation of this seating is a symbol of the emergence of the Morodok Techo National Stadium and is a very important step to see the actual look of the stadium”.

“This fruition is also contributing to the creation of the satellite city to be the most attractive city, the main eco-city,” he added.

H.E Thong Khon emphasized that the project has also helped train hundreds of skilled workers, of whom about 240 Cambodians are working at the stadium.

To date, the construction of the Morodok Techo Stadium is now 40% completed and is scheduled to be handed over to the government of Cambodia by the end of 2020.

This stadium is a gift from the People’s Republic of China worth about US$160 million and is being built on a total area of 16.22 hectares with a construction area of 8.24 thousand square metres. Built to serve as a venue for the 32nd SEA Games in 2023, the stadium can accommodate up to 60,000 visitors.
