Stadium of Legia Warsaw

In the drinking water installation at the Legia Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, almost one and a half kilometres of stainless steel pipe were laid, connected by gunmetal fittings from the Sanpress system.

Drinking water installation in football stadium of traditional Polish club

The Legia Stadium in Warsaw is one of the most modern buildings of its type in Poland. It has more than 31,100 seats and meets the requirements of UEFA's category 4, meaning that it is suitable for international football matches, including semi-finals of the Champions League. Inside the stadium there is also a museum and in the vicinity there are places of remembrance dedicated to the legends of the club. During construction, great care was taken to install high-quality technical solutions, and Viega’s Sanpress piping system was selected for the drinking water installation.

The optimum choice of materials

Almost half a kilometre of pipes made of 1.4521 stainless steel combined with gunmetal fittings with diameters from 15 to 88.9 mm were used. The pipes are made of ferritic stainless steel with a molybdenum fraction. This is important, because in this part of Warsaw the water with a high chloride content is highly corrosive. The gunmetal, from which the Sanpress fittings are made, further enhances the corrosion resistance by creating a cathodic protective layer on the inner surface of the pipe. The Sanpress system can operate safely in the long-term, even if the water contains 300 mg of chloride per litre.

Robust and safe connectors

Sanpress is a universal system designed for connecting stainless steel pipes. The extremely durable fittings can withstand pressures of up to 16 bar. The range includes components with diameters ranging from 12 to 108 mm. All fittings are equipped with the SC-Contur, enabling the immediate detection of connections that have inadvertently been left unpressed during the leak test.
