Project information

 
THE EXHIBITION area occupies the largest part of the complex and is centrally positioned in relation to all other supporting structures. It is divided into four independent exhibition zones
resulting in flexibility of its use. Each zone has a covered and an open exhibition area, in each zone a central dominating pavilion is constructed. In the middle zone, around the central pavilion. 
eight satellite pavilions were built which are by bridges connected to the central zone, thus forming one functional homogenous unity. The basic movement scheme is circular, thus being the shortest and most comfortable. The star-like distribution of individual pavilions allows for exceptionally good view of the exhibits on the fair.

§ the total area of the ground is 300 ha.

§ the total area of the complex is 120.000 m² 

§ open exhibition area 611,734 m²,

§ area of the artificial lake 11.000 m²

§ Within the complex there are service connections for power supply, water supply, sewage and telecommunication network. The exhibition zones have a road network. for heavy traffic which enables transport and delivery of exhibits. as well as a ring road which is connected to the trans-African trunk highway.

§ Since the complex is built outside the city limits it has its own power supply. Electricity is obtained via the transformer station 33/11 kV and a series of substations 11/'0.4 kV Which supply electricity to consumers The water supply for the buildings and gardens is provided by 6 deep wells and the water treatment plant. The waste waters are completely purified before being drained into the natural recipient.
