The Qingdao International Sailing Centre is a sailing
marina located on the former site of the Beihai Shipyard
by Qingdao's Fushan Bay at Shandong Province in China.
It is under construction for the 2008 Summer Olympics.
It will host Sailing competitions. The marina will
cover an area of 45 hectares,two-part of which will
be utilised for competitions.
The whole project is comprised of the Land Area,
and the Harbor and the Off-shore Section. The projects
on land will provide the administration and competition
management centre, the athletes' centre, the press
centre, the logistic and functional centre, and other
affiliated facilities as well. The Harbor and Off-Shore
parts will focus on the engineering of the major and
secondary breakwater, an embankment, a quay featuring
the Olympic Memorial Wall, and the renovation of the
shore wall.
The quay, the secondary breakwater, and the embankment
will enclose an area of 15.5 hectares (155,000 sq.m.)
while the major breakwater, together with the embankment,
will occupy 7.5 hectares (75,000 sq.m.). Additional
overlay and facilities will also be placed for temporary
use of the Games. A removable surveying shed and a
pontoon, for instance, will be set up separately on
the embankment and the western quay to facilitate
observations and transportation.
