After four years of renovation, the prestigious Luzhniki Olympic Stadium revived at the 2018 World Cup in Moscow. It has 81,000 seats, 2,000 VIP seats and 2,500 media seats. The opening of the World Cup and some The group stage has been held here, and the last 16 competitions, semi-finals and finals will also be held here.
In this reconstruction, the arena has acquired a new grandstand roof with a multi-layered surface made up of Coxon's polycarbonate product Makrolon®. Although the old roof is also made of this high-tech plastic, Coase is again used. The idea of creating a product is no coincidence. Even after years of use, the old panel only shows almost invisible scratches and slight fading. It is because of the good performance of the material that the stadium was renovated in 2015 for the World Cup. At that time, I decided to use Costron's high-tech products again.
Large area roof covering
The 25 mm thick white multi-layer panel will cover an area of approximately 36,000 square meters. Approximately 30 trucks are required to transport a panel with a width of 1.2 m and a length of 9.80 m to Moscow. The cross structure of the Makrolon® multi-layer board ensures Its high stability in all weather conditions and the ability to withstand up to one ton of snow per square meter. New additives and special UV coatings ensure that polycarbonate sheets are not affected by weathering for 25 years. , and its good fire rating.
Cost-saving lightweight product
Compared to glass roofs, saving 40% to 45% is another advantage of polycarbonate sheets. Polycarbonate sheets are lighter and easier to transport and handle. This also allows the metal or aluminum structure at the bottom to Designed to be more complicated.
Solid and multi-layer panels made of polycarbonate have proven their worth in stadium construction and many other large projects.
In Germany, there are many new or refurbished sports facilities that confirm the impressive and rich possibilities of Makrolon® plates. There are many other countries in the world, such as China, Poland, Brazil, Romania and Austria, which also have diverse An example of applying this material.
