While the arena was first and foremost designed as a sports complex, it also caters for concerts and other events. Apart from the grand arena which holds up to 17 000 people, the center has an amphitheater for smaller scale events, arts and multimedia spaces, a fitness club, a restaurant, cafés and a bar. Exceptionally good acoustics and sophisticated technical solutions make it a modern, internationally renowned venue.

The challenge

The multi-functional purpose of the arena complex requires multi-functional solutions. The arena space frequently needs to be transformed to fit large and small concerts as well as a wide variety of sports events and competitions:
• Ice hockey
• Figure skating
• Basketball
• Martial arts

This versatility poses a tremendous challenge for heating and water distribution systems: different sports require completely different thermal environments.
The most important requirement was therefore the venue’s rapid, easy and safe adaptability to a broad range of events. This requires modern, high-performing systems that are able to fulfill complex demands while still remaining reliable and energy efficient.

 

The solution

Uponor floor heating and water distribution systems were chosen due to Uponor’s extensive experience with sports venues as well as the unique flexibility that Uponor pipes and systems offer.

All in all 31 km of Uponor piping were installed:
• 18 km ice-rink piping
• 10 km underfloor heating piping
• 3 km ground energy piping

For maximum flexibility the same pipes that heat the courts also maintain the required temperature when this surface is used for ice-hockey games or figure skating competitions. The use of a thermal primer protects floor structures against the possibility of deformation.

In 2015 the Žalgirio Arena became the first BREEAM certified sports arena in the world. BREEAM is an international environmental assessment method used to evaluate the sustainability of building projects throughout their life cycle. Uponor systems have proudly contributed to the energy efficiency and enhanced value of the arena.

Jégpálya a "Városligetben"

Jégpálya a "Városligetben"

A korcsolyapálya története: a Városliget korcsolyapályája, mely 1926-ban nyílt, Európa második korcsolyapályája volt (Bécs után).  A második világháborúban bombatalálat érte, az 1950-es években csak ideiglenesen javították ki. A legutóbbi nagyszabású felújítás 1986-ban valósult meg, ekkor telepítették az átalakított erőművet és kondenzátorművet, valamint lefektették a pályára az új, harmadik csőréteget. Kisebb-nagyobb mérnöki átalakítások (1999-2001) után – a mérnöki rendszer elavultsága és romlása miatt – a Fővárosi Önkormányzat pályázatot írt ki a Városligeti Korcsolyapálya átfogó építészeti és mérnöki rekonstrukciójára.
