The Warsaw Stadium:
Solutions for expansion and reinforcement
A new landmark was added to the Polish capital during a construction period of almost four years: the "Stadion Narodowy w Warszawie", or Warsaw National Stadium. This stadium was built specifically for the UEFA Euro 2012. Although largely invisible, products provided by the Berlin-based fastening and reinforcement supplier Deutsche Kahneisen Gesellschaft mbH played a major role in the construction phase.
The award of the UEFA Euro 2012 to Poland and Ukraine resulted in major challenges regarding the extension and upgrade of the infrastructure in both countries. For example, only some soccer league stadiums were previously located in the Polish capital; these were, however, too small to meet the requirements of such an event. In addition, Warsaw featured an athletics arena built in 1955, which, in recent years, has been used as the venue for a weekly market. Against this background, the construction of a new stadium was inevitable.
