A modern, versatile sports facility

Metro Park Sport in Panama involved the design of steel structures for a multi-use court and grandstands, delivering a safe, functional space for different sports and community events.

Steel frames and trusses

  • Steel frames and long-span trusses that provide stability and column-free space.
  • Design for the dynamic and crowd loads typical of sports venues.
  • An open layout that adapts to multiple sports.

Digital modeling and shop drawings

  • ETABS to simulate seismic and occupancy loads.
  • Tekla Structures for the BIM model, shop drawings and steel takeoffs.
  • A digital workflow that sped up fabrication and erection and improved coordination between contractors.

Results

Metro Park Sport is now a modern, safe sports complex. Its high-performance steel structure, efficient design and BIM workflow show how ADIPSA handles long-span steel projects from analysis to fabrication drawings.

Project FAQs

What type of structure does Metro Park Sport use?

Steel frames and trusses, which deliver strength and long column-free spans.

How was structural safety verified?

With ETABS analysis that simulated the seismic and dynamic crowd loads typical of sports venues and large events.

What role did Tekla Structures play?

Tekla Structures produced the BIM model and the shop drawings, which made fabrication and erection faster and more accurate.

Why use steel trusses in a sports venue?

Trusses span long distances without intermediate supports, leaving an open space that adapts to different sports.
