Abstract
The Côte D’Or National Sports Complex provided the African island nation of Mauritius with world-class sporting venues for the 2019 Indian Ocean Island Games. The new high-performance facilities were designed and built in just two years against a backdrop of complex geotechnical conditions, rigorous settlement criteria and the challenges of operating in a tropical environment prone to seasonal cyclone activity. Additional considerations included the limited local procurement capacity and material availability. The lessons learned and standards applied provide a useful resource for similar works in the Indian Ocean region.
Côte D 'Or国家体育中心为非洲岛国毛里求斯提供了2019年印度洋岛屿运动会的世界级体育场馆。在复杂的岩土条件、严格的沉降标准和在容易发生季节性气旋活动的热带环境中运行的挑战的背景下，新的高性能设施在短短两年内设计和建造。其他考虑因素包括当地采购能力和材料供应有限。吸取的教训和采用的标准为印度洋区域的类似工作提供了有益的资源。
