'Made In China' Stunning Qatar FIFA World Cup, What Impact Does It Have On The Fastener Industry?

The most anticipated global event recently is the Qatar FIFA World Cup. Once the 2022 Qatar World Cup opened on November 20, it attracted the attention of the world.

The main stadium of this World Cup, the Lusail Stadium, as an event venue, is frequently on the hot searches. Most notably, it is the first World Cup venue to be constructed by China as the general design and construction contractor, and it has created many Chinese and world records. Known as the world's largest, most complex system, with the highest design standards, the most advanced technology, and the most internationalized World Cup main venue.

In addition, there are many Chinese companies participating in this grand competition and the eye-catching infrastructure:

China Railway Construction undertook the stadium of the World Cup - Lusail Stadium;

Jinggong Steel Structure jointly participated in the construction task of Lusail Stadium;

PowerChina undertook the construction of the first photovoltaic power station in Qatar, and made a lot of efforts to ensure the electricity demand of the World Cup;

Among them, the Qatar photovoltaic power station contracted by China Power Construction has installed a total of 2 million solar panels, with a total investment of 417 million US dollars.

We are no strangers to screws. Photovoltaic is currently an important sector in the new energy industry and is being used in various key projects. Photovoltaic panels require a large number of fasteners. As the "powerhouse" of corrosion resistance and impact resistance, stainless steel fasteners are widely used in the photovoltaic industry. At the same time, for the consideration of later maintenance and repair, various fasteners with anti-loosening and locking functions are also one of the best choices.

In the past two years, new infrastructure projects have been launched across the country. The construction of new infrastructure mainly focuses on the development of technology, including seven major areas such as 5G infrastructure, intercity high-speed railways, and new energy vehicle charging piles. The development of new infrastructure indicates that the fastener industry has new and additional development opportunities based on the original traditional infrastructure. Under the new development of fasteners, there are more possibilities.

And this time, at the World Cup in Qatar, Chinese companies clearly demonstrated their capabilities in new infrastructure projects. In the process of construction projects, from design to construction, Chinese enterprises have provided a series of solutions, completed different construction projects, integrated domestic resources such as steel structure projects, large-scale machinery, and ultra-high-strength fasteners, and worked together to make Chinese manufacturing appear in every place of the World Cup in Qatar.

Whether it is a super-large infrastructure project like the Lusail Stadium or a small and medium-sized construction project, fasteners are everywhere and silently protect the safety of infrastructure. Fasteners are frequently used in construction machinery, equipment facilities, and structural connections. Different applications have different strict quality standards.

The surface connection of Lusail Stadium is very complicated, and tens of thousands of connection parts are used. It is understood that the entire front wall requires 4672 connectors. These fastened connections must not exhibit any deviations, which would lead to changes in shape. Among, it took a lot of effort to install the fasteners and aluminum plates, and finally, the technicians used technical skills such as dynamic positioning and simulation technology to overcome the problem.

In the selection of fasteners, such large-scale infrastructure must have strict requirements. For example, lock nuts cannot meet the requirements of stadiums due to their general performance. High-strength lock nuts dedicated to large-scale infrastructure equipment and facilities must be used, and the manufacturing, testing, and heat treatment of products must pass standards.

High-strength bolts are also often used in building structures, but high-strength bolts generally used in building structures cannot be reused, so the requirements for such bolts are even higher. High-strength bolts are generally graded 8.8 and grade 10.9, of which grade 10.9 high-strength bolts are the most widely used.

Whether it is an infrastructure project or a traffic trip, there are many places where fasteners are needed. In recent years, my country's production and production capabilities in high-strength fasteners have been improving, and they are used in more and more important projects.

Made in China can amaze the World Cup in Qatar, which is proof of the continuous progress of China's manufacturing industry and R&D capabilities. Scientific and technological innovation and equipment manufacturing are both strong backing. China's fasteners are also in the process of adhering to innovation without stopping, appearing in every large-scale infrastructure, high-speed rail, and aviation, and are moving towards becoming a high-end supporting industry chain in many industries.
