Ohene Djan’s Osu Stand at completition
point
Accra, May 3, GNA – The Osu Stand of the Ohene Djan Sports
Stadium, Accra has reached its completition point as
predicted by the contractors – Micheleti and Company Ghana
Limited.
Micheleti, the main contractors working on the project
predicted three weeks ago the completition of the Osu Stand
of the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium in Accra.
A visit to the site by the GNA Sports on Thursday, saw the
workers putting finishing touches to the stand thus allaying
doubts of completition of the stadium on schedule ahead of
the 2008 Nations Cup to be hosted by Ghana.
Jimmy Castagna, Technical Director of Micheleti and Co.
Ghana Limited, told the GNA Sports that the company is well
within schedule and will get the job executed and ready for
the competition.
The Osu Stand when completed will have a corporate box in
between the lower and uper sections of the stand.
There are to be eight of the corporate boxes which are to be
glassed as ‘special’ venues for the patrons who will be
seperated from other spectators in the stadium.
According to the contractors, the corporate boxes which will
be fitted with kitchen-nets can each house 35 of the
patrons.
The facility will be made available to staff of corporate
organisations at special rates.
The contractors are currently erecting steel bars on the
sub-structure at the Southern Stand end of the stadium.
Castagna told the GNA Sports that work on the Southern Stand
will be completed by the close of June, adding that his
outfit is set to beat the October 31, deadline.
When asked whether the project will be affected by the rainy
season, Castgna said “We have made adequate preparations for
it and I’m sure our work will not be affected by the rains
when thye set in”.
He said that the earlier rains this year had a minor effect
on the works as they lost two working days, but stated added
that “with the completition of the drainage system at the
stadium, work will proceed even with the rains”.
Castagna gave the assurance to all Ghanaians that the
stadium will be ready for use come January 2008 to ensure a
successful competition under a serene atmosphere for all
spectators.
