Five Stars of FC Shakhtar Stadium to light up in 2008!
FC Shakhtar's ambitious plans for a new iconic football stadium qualifying for FIFA and UEFA's 5-star accreditation have reached another exciting milestone. The famous Turkish ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. has been defined as the General Contractor, and the full-scale construction is about to begin.
The General Contractor selection process started last year. It is one of the most important appointments for the Project and, therefore the Club allocated considerable time to the task. The candidates for general contractors were assessed according to specific criteria including experience of working in Eastern Europe, design and technical capability, financial resources, experience of delivering complex projects on time and within budget, competence in stadium features, quality control, and compliance with the standards of technical security and health and labor safety. Initial list of 225 international contractors was assessed and then reduced progressively to 25, 9, and, finally, 4 candidates. After a competitive tendering process and several interviews, the Turkish company ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. was selected. Due to the active mutual cooperation the contract negotiations were completed in two months - a great team effort by all those involved.
The project of the stadium was chosen among 20 drafts submitted by the best international architects. The design selected unanimously by the Club was the one by Arup Sport. Their concept image fully meets the FIFA/UEFA Guidelines for 5-star accreditation. Because of its unique design the Stadium is bound to become the true modern symbol of the city and the new "home" for FC Shakhtar. It will harmoniously fit the landscape and environment of Leninskiy Komsomol Park.
Total budget of the project is $250M. This covers services of designers and architects, construction and land-surveying works, field construction, external and internal finishing works, landscape design and infrastructure development.
The stadium is designed to seat 50 000 people.
The peculiar, recognizable features of the stadium will be the oval plate form, transparent roof and cover of the facade. At night the whole construction will shine like a diamond due to the special external lighting technology. The full-scale construction works will start right after the long-awaited presentation of the General Contractor - the Turkish ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. Total contract value is $185M.
To ensure that the project runs in accordance with the Club's Brief and FIFA and UEFA Guidelines, Shakhtar Club and ENKA will continue to call upon advice from football's governing bodies. ArupSport - world leader in design of 5-star sports venues, will continue to supervise the project, and, namely, keep track of the project developing, and ensure that the iconic features and operational efficiency are protected.
Austin Reilly, the project director, continues to act as principal adviser to the Club, drawing upon his experience in designing, constructing and operating UEFA 5-star stadiums in UK and Portugal.

Hampden project 'fatally flawed'
The Hampden project ran into financial trouble
Management responsible for the debt-ridden Hampden Park re-development project have been sharply criticised in a report.
The Scottish Parliament's Education, Culture and Sport Committee said there was a "fatal ambiguity" between stadium owners Queen's Park Football Club and the company set up to rebuild the stadium.
MSPs said they were astonished that Queen's Park called in liquidators while a rescue package was being hammered out and voiced concern at the level of fees incurred by the club.
The committee also questioned the appointment of Austin Reilly to run The National Stadium plc - the company set up to administer the refurbishment.
These fees were abnormally high before, during and after the rescue package
Committee report
The £60m project to re-develop the 52,000 seat national stadium had to be bailed out last year with a £5.75m rescue package.
The investigation by MSPs looked in detail at the complex project which involved contractors, subsidiaries, the Millennium Fund and other sponsors.
During their inquiry, MSPs were told that financial management of the Hampden project was worse than that of the Millennium Dome.
The committee found that the project was "fundamentally flawed" from the outset because of ambiguity over the role of The National Stadium plc (TNS).
MSPs also found that Mr Reilly's appointment to run TNS was made against "inappropriate criteria" and that his dual role with TNS and Queen's Park FC created conflicts of interest and genuine confusion.
The report states: "The committee finds the attitude of TNS to be less than credible in their correspondence with McAlpine (the developers).
"It appears that either Mr Reilly was deliberately giving a partial picture to McAlpine or he was operating without clear knowledge of the financial situation.
"The committee finds that the management resources were insufficient for the task and key priorities were not met.
"Further, the fundamental structure was wrong and no effective structure was ever put in place.

Five Stars of FC Shakhtar Stadium to light up in 2008!
FC Shakhtar's ambitious plans for a new iconic football stadium qualifying for FIFA and UEFA's 5-star accreditation have reached another exciting milestone. The famous Turkish ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. has been defined as the General Contractor, and the full-scale construction is about to begin.
The General Contractor selection process started last year. It is one of the most important appointments for the Project and, therefore the Club allocated considerable time to the task. The candidates for general contractors were assessed according to specific criteria including experience of working in Eastern Europe, design and technical capability, financial resources, experience of delivering complex projects on time and within budget, competence in stadium features, quality control, and compliance with the standards of technical security and health and labor safety. Initial list of 225 international contractors was assessed and then reduced progressively to 25, 9, and, finally, 4 candidates. After a competitive tendering process and several interviews, the Turkish company ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. was selected. Due to the active mutual cooperation the contract negotiations were completed in two months - a great team effort by all those involved.
The project of the stadium was chosen among 20 drafts submitted by the best international architects. The design selected unanimously by the Club was the one by Arup Sport. Their concept image fully meets the FIFA/UEFA Guidelines for 5-star accreditation. Because of its unique design the Stadium is bound to become the true modern symbol of the city and the new "home" for FC Shakhtar. It will harmoniously fit the landscape and environment of Leninskiy Komsomol Park.
Total budget of the project is $250M. This covers services of designers and architects, construction and land-surveying works, field construction, external and internal finishing works, landscape design and infrastructure development.
The stadium is designed to seat 50 000 people.
The peculiar, recognizable features of the stadium will be the oval plate form, transparent roof and cover of the facade. At night the whole construction will shine like a diamond due to the special external lighting technology. The full-scale construction works will start right after the long-awaited presentation of the General Contractor - the Turkish ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. Total contract value is $185M.
To ensure that the project runs in accordance with the Club's Brief and FIFA and UEFA Guidelines, Shakhtar Club and ENKA will continue to call upon advice from football's governing bodies. ArupSport - world leader in design of 5-star sports venues, will continue to supervise the project, and, namely, keep track of the project developing, and ensure that the iconic features and operational efficiency are protected.
Austin Reilly, the project director, continues to act as principal adviser to the Club, drawing upon his experience in designing, constructing and operating UEFA 5-star stadiums in UK and Portugal.

Hampden project 'fatally flawed'
The Hampden project ran into financial trouble
Management responsible for the debt-ridden Hampden Park re-development project have been sharply criticised in a report.
The Scottish Parliament's Education, Culture and Sport Committee said there was a "fatal ambiguity" between stadium owners Queen's Park Football Club and the company set up to rebuild the stadium.
MSPs said they were astonished that Queen's Park called in liquidators while a rescue package was being hammered out and voiced concern at the level of fees incurred by the club.
The committee also questioned the appointment of Austin Reilly to run The National Stadium plc - the company set up to administer the refurbishment.
These fees were abnormally high before, during and after the rescue package
Committee report
The £60m project to re-develop the 52,000 seat national stadium had to be bailed out last year with a £5.75m rescue package.
The investigation by MSPs looked in detail at the complex project which involved contractors, subsidiaries, the Millennium Fund and other sponsors.
During their inquiry, MSPs were told that financial management of the Hampden project was worse than that of the Millennium Dome.
The committee found that the project was "fundamentally flawed" from the outset because of ambiguity over the role of The National Stadium plc (TNS).
MSPs also found that Mr Reilly's appointment to run TNS was made against "inappropriate criteria" and that his dual role with TNS and Queen's Park FC created conflicts of interest and genuine confusion.
The report states: "The committee finds the attitude of TNS to be less than credible in their correspondence with McAlpine (the developers).
"It appears that either Mr Reilly was deliberately giving a partial picture to McAlpine or he was operating without clear knowledge of the financial situation.
"The committee finds that the management resources were insufficient for the task and key priorities were not met.
"Further, the fundamental structure was wrong and no effective structure was ever put in place.

The City and the Government approved construction of the bridge back in 1993. At the time the rules and the law were essentially different from the current. Construction of the bridge restarted in 2003 under Kuchma presidency. There was a lot of concern about property rights then. Recent democratic changes in Ukraine encourage Rusanovsky Gardens cottage owners to stand for their rights. Mr. Omelchenko - former Mayor under pressure form cottage owners had number compensation packages prepared for them. 37.5 hectares of the cottage area on Gorbachiha Creek were included in the City development plan in January 2006 for Rusanovsky Gardens lots replacement. At that time 82 of 300 owners accepted the offer.
The new Mayor Mr. Chernovetskiy ordered today to prepare compensation package for each lot owner in a week time. He wants to be ready to settle each case in the courtroom if necessary. Huge media coverage of the bridge construction issue is on its way. Mr. Chernovetskiy invited Kievans to send him letters with their opinion about the Podolsky - Voskresensky Bridge construction.

New Kiev's Mayor Leonid Chernovetskiy made a statement for media that the property of Rusanovsky Gardens cottage area is a "show stopper" for the Podolsky - Voskresensky Bridge construction. The Rusanovsky Gardens problem, in his opinion, was intentionally ignored in the past. Visiting the "construction of the century" that has such a serious unsolved problem was inappropriate for a new Mayor. Yesterday (the day of the planned visit to the construction site of the bridge) the Mayor made orders intended to speed up settlement of the Rusanovsky Gardens problem.Cottage area is located within City's boards. Actually geographically area is only 4.5km away from the City center. The area is combining beauty of riverbank and comfort of urban infrastructure surrounding the area. Despite of such beneficial location Rusanovsky Gardens developed in 60's never was replaced with a residential district, because it's located on a flood hazard area. No wander, the property cost in the area is very high (in average $40,000 for a lot). But this price is good only for lots that are not on the way of the bridge construction.
The City and the Government approved construction of the bridge back in 1993. At the time the rules and the law were essentially different from the current. Construction of the bridge restarted in 2003 under Kuchma presidency. There was a lot of concern about property rights then. Recent democratic changes in Ukraine encourage Rusanovsky Gardens cottage owners to stand for their rights. Mr. Omelchenko - former Mayor under pressure form cottage owners had number compensation packages prepared for them. 37.5 hectares of the cottage area on Gorbachiha Creek were included in the City development plan in January 2006 for Rusanovsky Gardens lots replacement. At that time 82 of 300 owners accepted the offer.
The new Mayor Mr. Chernovetskiy ordered today to prepare compensation package for each lot owner in a week time. He wants to be ready to settle each case in the courtroom if necessary. Huge media coverage of the bridge construction issue is on its way. Mr. Chernovetskiy invited Kievans to send him letters with their opinion about the Podolsky - Voskresensky Bridge construction.
