Eurovision Baku Crystal Hall <\/em><\/h1>\n[\/nectar_highlighted_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1744093811747{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” text_direction=”default”]The 2012 Eurovision Song Contest was held in the “Baku Crystal Hall,” which we co-constructed. The inner roof realized by NCA \u2013 consisting of 2,700 metric tons of steel \u2013 is an architectural highlight and demonstrates our expertise in the construction of complex, large-span structures to be implemented on short notice.<\/p>\n

The main roof trusses rest on two tubular columns each at a height of nearly 20 m and span a free width of 80 m \u2013 making the structure appear to literally float above the stage area. Additionally, NCA was responsible for the installation of approximately 1,500 metric tons of the external crystal facade \u2013 about 50% of the total facade area.<\/p>\n

The project documents the trust in our company’s international experience and was completed on schedule within just 5 months on the grounds of the National Flag Square. The entire arena offers space for around 25,000 spectators.<\/p>\n
