Estadio Tierra de Campeones, the track and football stadium of Iquique in Chile's Tarapaca region, has had a bumpy construction history: the stadium was first completed in 1993 by The then Mayor of Iquique Jorge Soria, and later expanded; It was completely demolished in 2017 and is scheduled to be rebuilt by 2020, with the goal of building a modern new fiFA-compliant stadium covering an area of about 23.6 hectares. On December 13, 2018, Guosen Group signed a contract with Otero Chile, the largest hardware buyer in Chile. Shipment started on March 15, 2019, and by May 7, 2019, all steel structure parts were designed, produced and shipped. A total of eight batches of shipping, 58 40-foot high cabinets, and 383 tons of steel structure were shipped.
On September 23, 2019, Lu Baoyin, Vice General Manager of The Group, and Xie Liangtao, minister of international Trade Department, went to Chile to attend the completion ceremony of Iquique Champion Stadium. The project was also highly valued by the Chilean government, and the Chilean president personally attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the stadium.
Chilean daily El Pais has described the project as having "Chinese ancestry", that is, guosen group's fully assembled steel structure technology with an assembly degree of more than 95%. The entire structure of the stadium is integrated with the theme of prefabrication. This is not a small challenge for Guosen Group. From design to production, it is the first time that the project completely adopts the American standard (American Steel Structure Association standard), and requires no mold production. Shandong Guosen Architectural Design and Research Institute takes advantage of the research and development accumulation as the support, and finally successfully completes the detailed design and production. It is worth noting that the whole process of the project is supervised and inspected by veritas veritas, which is internationally renowned for its strict quality. The design, production and full assembly services of The Group are provided by Icafal Ingenieria Y Construccion S.A (the sixth largest general contractor in Chile, awarded by the Chilean House of Representatives: National champion of The Chilean Sustainable Construction Company) very satisfied.
Iconic and even landmark projects such as Iquique National Stadium in Chile have promoted the comprehensive strength and industry status of Guosen Group in overseas markets, which has also provided sufficient weight for guosen International Trade Department to seek international cooperation. Guoshun Group will take this as an opportunity, in the process of connecting with the international standards, will be more confident spirit, more positive attitude, more high-quality and efficient service, strengthen foreign exchanges and cooperation, share advanced technical experience with all parties, work together for mutual benefit and win-win.
