Chosen by Grinaker-LTA as the sole Formwork supplier to
this prestigious project, Form-Scaff’s design office were
challenged to come up with innovative ways to form the
many different structures of this stadium.
570 Multi-Form Tables (6 000m²) were delivered to site
consisting of Form-Scaff’s highly acclaimed steel-on-steel
Multi-Form main – and secondary beams.
Supported on BS Props and Alu-Up Props, the table-forms
were used to cast most of the horizontal slabs of the new
stadium. Form-Scaff also supplied the special formwork
used for all the raking beams. Some of the raking beams
had to be extended, others were constructed new. Vertical
Formwork for the liftshafts and walls were done in Multi-Form.
2 500m² of Tim-Deck was also supplied to site for use on
other small flatslab areas.
General Information Soccer City promises to be one of the greatest achievements in
stadium design and construction in FIFA history, once the renovation
to the previous FNB stadium has been completed. The FNB stadium, which was built by Grinaker in the 1980’s has largely been demolished and rebuilt to enlarge the stadium to 95 000 seats, as well as to meet
the strict standards demanded by FIFA.
The renovation will make Soccer City the largest stadium ever built for
a World Cup tournament and will be the largest stadium on the African Continent.
The uniquely African stadium is designed to resemble a cooking pot
with a ‘ring of fire’.

Formwork
General Information
Good concrete finishes on all Vertical formwork for this
project, was achieved by using Form-Scaff's Tifa and Tifa-
Lite systems.
WBHO used steel-on-steel Multi-Form on top of their own
Kwik-Stage support for most of the slabs around the stadium.
Form-Scaff's Kwik-Strip Multi-Form Drophead was very
successfully used on this project. It allows the Multi-Form
system to be stripped after a couple of days providing
improved cycle times.
The roof over the existing west stand of the Peter Mokaba Stadium
will be removed and replaced by a roof that covers the entire
western stand of the new Stadium. An additional 20 rows of seating
will be built around the entire stadium to increase capacity to
45,000.
In addition to the structural work, the Peter Mokaba Stadium will
be provided with first rate equipment, including an electronic
scoreboard in the northern stand, new floodlights, sound system
and a fire detection and protection system.

Formwork
General Information
Form-Scaff was called in by Grinaker-LTA and Interbeton to
assist with the slab formwork on the Port Elizabeth Stadium.
Multi-Form supported on Kwik-Stage was brought in to
replace the "Aluminium Decking" system used from another
formwork supplier.
6 000m² of Form-Scaff's steel-on-steel Multi-Form has been
delivered by our local branch in P.E.
The proposed stadium for Port Elizabeth will be an entirely new
construction. The current stadium has been deemed unsuitable for
upgrade and so a new football stadium is envisaged, which will be
incorporated within a multi-purpose facility specifically designed
to serve the community.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium will be a high-tech, modern venue
and will meet every requirement needed to provide a world class
venue for the first and second round matches of the 2010
World
Cup.
