structure relocation

 

an important part of my project is to dismantle the stadium and  relocate the separate parts,how to move a whole structure become a key problem,and I did some studies about structure relocation, and there are many successful precedents .

A structure relocation is the process of moving a structure from one location to another. There are two main ways for a structure to be moved: disassembling, and then reassembling, or transporting it whole. For the latter, the building may be pushed on temporary rails or dollies if the distance is short. Otherwise, wheels, such as flatbed trucks, are used.

diagrammatic main steps:

 

1.cut off the structure from footings,attaching a temporary steel framework under the structure to replace and improve upon the structure's foundation

 2. place a network of  jacks  under the framework, elevates the structure off the foundation

3 once the structure is at a sufficient height, the wheeled  temporary steel framework under the structure can be pulled on rails or  a flat bed truck by tractors and moves to the final destination.
