Personally I would prefer more turquoise colour like on renders


That blue which they used in reality made it look like DK colours, naturally.

amazing stuff! Probably the best stadium in Eastern Europe right now. We'll have to see what Gazprom Arena can do, but right now this is great.

Donbass Arena turf protected from heat

21-07-11 10:58:49


A unique project has been launched by the Donbass Arena experts in order to ensure comfortable environment for the turf recovery and growth in the blistering heat, helping to protect the pitch surface from overexposure to the solar radiation.

“We faced the turf-shading problem back in the summer of 2010, when extremely high temperatures were registered in Donetsk, with the turf surface temperature rising well above 40 degrees Celsius”, Vadim Gun’ko, the Facility Director at the Donbass Arena explains. “In such extreme conditions the grass cannot develop properly, it just gets dry. On the other hand, the irrigation system is not helpful cooling-wise, because over-watering may harm the grass. Besides, at high ambient temperatures the turf gets highly vulnerable to mechanical damage, also putting matches at risk.”

After a joint examination of the pitch response to high temperatures, involving STRI representatives, the stadium senior management came to the conclusion that the turf would need some extra protection for a few weeks every summer.

“Back in 2010 we found a solution and used the white wintertime coating to shade the pitch, at the same time using SGL mobile units to support the coating. Back then we fulfilled the immediate task and saved most of the turf,” Vadim Gun’ko sums up.

There was no ready-made solution anywhere in the world then (though something similar exists at Camp Nou), therefore we decided to develop our own turf-shading system. Thus, we designed a suspended system, which includes a number of ropes attached to the middle tier’s bearing structures, with special protective cloth sliding along to protect the pitch from direct sunlight.

“When designing it, we took into consideration the maximally possible wind speed inside the bowl, rain factor etc. Finally, we obtained the system which can be set up over the period of one to two days, and easily dismantled after use,” the Facility Director further explains.

Such system enables us to create shade over a greater portion of the pitch, fixing the protective cloth some 6-6.5 m above the turf surface, ensuring irrigation system’s smooth operation and unobstructed access for maintenance purposes, even when special equipment is deployed.

“We currently work on improving the unwinding and rolling-up process in order to mechanize it to the maximum,” Mr Gun’ko continues. “Along with the pitch turf injection technology, this system will help us improve the pitch surface quality and to host the upcoming EURO 2012 tournament - as well as European and domestic League matches - to the highest standards available."
