The organizers of the Qatar World Cup 2022 faced a dilemma of a high caliber, as the green rug grass is affected by the temperature this winter in light of the tangible rise, and the urgent need for an urgent cooling source.
Its workers provided tons of grass seeds imported from the United States of America, specifically by plane, to meet the growing need for the eight World Cup stadiums, as well as 136 secondary stadiums for training.
The new stadiums need approximately 50,000 cubic meters of desalinated sea water on a daily basis, to maintain the grass glasses inside those stadiums in the scorching summer heat. The new stadiums need better cooling conditions than that, as the problem threatens to hold the tournament on them, which is considered It has had Qatar for 15 years, at a cost of $7 billion so far. According to sources.
Despite the approaching winter, the specter of a rise in temperature, which may reach 30 degrees Celsius, remains a threat to the survival of grass , which may allow the growth of many fungi, which necessitated the organizers to address them with a cocktail and special compounds of chemicals, while the specialized engineers suggested a cold treatment periodically and immediately to maintain the freshness of the grass and prevent them from damage.
Therefore, engineer Dr. Saud Ghani, nicknamed “Dr. Cool”, created a unique system and the first of its kind in the world that achieves this purpose, through air cooling networks spread in the stands and nozzles stationed in the stadium, to draw the air back, re-cooled, filtered, and pushed it out again, just as It happens with the air conditioning of the car, but on a larger scale.
The beautiful thing is that the World Cup organizers have prepared an amazing backup plan to overcome this problem, by setting up a farm north of the capital, Doha, that includes a huge field covering 40 full-size stadiums to grow reserve grass.
The grass will be uprooted and transported to the damaged stadium to be ready to play in just eight hours, according to Mohamed Al-Atwan, the project manager.
