  • BULACAN - Philippine Arena (50,000) - World's Largest Domed Arena

    Hanwha E&C to build world’s largest domed arena near Manila
    Korean builder strives to become one of the world’s 100 largest construction firms



    Hanwha Engineering and Construction Corp. began work on the world’s largest domed arena in the Philippines on Thursday.

    The work for the $175 million contract, signed on Aug. 4, got underway in a ceremony attended by Hanwha E&C officials including vice chairman Kim Hyun-chung and those from the Filipino Christian organization Iglesia Ni Cristo that issued the contract.

    The facility located near Manila, named the Philippine Arena, will be fitted with 50,000 seats and its domed roof will be nearly 36,000 square meters, making it the world’s largest domed arena, the company said.

    Hanwha E&C said that the work will be carried out over 30 months to be finished early 2014.

    “By winning this contract for building the world’s largest dome arena, the company was able to prove its technological capabilities and the ability to carry out overseas projects,” Kim said in a statement. The company said that in the biddings for the contract, it competed with China’s Jiangsu International and the Philippines’ largest construction company EEI Corp. The project will be conducted in design-build process in which the contractor is responsible for all related processes from designing to building the facility, the company said.

    “As the bridgehead for the Southeast Asian market, the project is expected to bring opportunities for more civil engineering and construction projects in the region.”

    The project opens a new market for Hanwha E&C, which has focused mostly on the Middle Eastern markets, as it drives to become one of the world’s 100 largest construction companies.

    Earlier this year Hanwha Engineering and Construction announced plans to become one of the world’s top 100 builders by 2015 with an annual sales figure of 5 trillion won ($4.65 billion), and win contracts worth 7 trillion won in that year.

    The plans also revealed that the company will diversify its overseas portfolio to include civil engineering projects, and to expand into solar power and other renewable energy businesses.

    Also as part of the plans, the company hopes to expand its overseas generated income by more than 20 percent each year with the aim of raising 40 percent of its annual revenues from overseas sources by 2015.

    In the Middle East, Hanwha E&C has made significant headway this year, winning a series of contracts including an urban development project in Iraq.

    The contract, issued by Iraq’s National Investment Commission, is valued at $7.25 billion, making it the largest overseas construction project to be won by a Korean construction firm.

    Under the contract, Hanwha Engineering and Construction will build a planned town at a location 25 kilometers east of central Baghdad. The town will be built over an area of 1,830 hectares and contain 100,000 new homes, the company said.

                      where in Bocaue?
                      the big fields near St. Paul College of Bocaue?

                      or near NLEX near Sta. Maria,Bocaue and Marilao boundary?
                      There was this group kasi that insisted of buying a large portion of land in Bocaue/Marilao/Sta.Maria boundary(near NLEX) and they pursued us on buying our land there that was full of memories of my late lolo and my kite-playing days...tanaw un tollgate dun..
                      It was rumored that there was this group that was planning to develop the land and the rumor was it will be a theme park...but it didnt happen...And upto now there is nothing on the area..i wonder if its the same group?

                        seemed like most of the activities here will be for the religious ones most of the time since Iglesia Ni Cristo is part of the deal.

                        is this really worth only $175million? Pepsi Center in Denver already cost $160million (in 1999), and can only sit 20,000 for basketball. i hope that this arena won't be constructed using sub standard materials.

                          hehe maybe it'll be just metal frames as the structure
                          plus metal frames for the bleachers and it'll be padded by wood planks as seats
                          and it will be open air and will require people to bring their own abanicos..

                            crabs...
                            I remember someone hated the term"PUSO" so much.
                            A few years later, "PUSO" has become Gilas's battle cry.

                            Now i know where Manu_bol's hate is coming from.
