Aramco Stadium Recycles 18,000 Tons of Construction Waste

Construction of the Aramco Stadium has recycled 18,000 tons of construction waste, according to the Hosting Higher Authority for World Cup 2034.

The authority said up to 35% of the cement used in the stadium’s concrete has been replaced with low-emission materials, aligning with broader sustainability objectives.

Since work began in July 2024, approximately 15,000 tons of structural framework have been installed as part of the build.

The project also incorporates a sustainable air-conditioning system, with cooling capacity reaching 22,500 tons.

According to project details, the stadium’s playing surface will use a hybrid system composed of 95% natural grass and 5% synthetic reinforcement, with pitch dimensions set at 105 metres by 68 metres to meet FIFA and Asian Football Confederation requirements.

The venue is designed to accommodate around 47,000 spectators and will include 9,000 parking spaces and 1,695 CCTV cameras.

The construction forms part of preparations linked to hosting the 2034 FIFA World Cup, with a focus on integrating sustainability measures into large-scale infrastructure projects.
