A new stadium was built for the World Cup in St. Petersburg. Construction began in 2007 and was completed in 2016. The “Zenit Arena” has room for around 70,000 spectators. The stadium is reminiscent of a spaceship and is one of the most modern in the world. It has a sliding roof with a diameter of 286 metres on eight supports.

The sliding roof was securely fastened with the FIS EM injection mortar and the supporting grate was reinforced. The quantity was 1,500 cartridges. In addition, the installers used the Fischer FBN II bolt anchor 2900 times to secure the supporting grate and several steel structures. They installed more than 100,000 Fischer FBS concrete screws in different sizes to anchor railings and stairs. In addition, more than 4,000 cartridges of the flame-retardant B1 gun foam from fischer were used to install fire doors. “In the tests, our products proved their technical advantages,” emphasises Andrey Egorov, Managing Director of the Russian subsidiary of the fischer group of companies. “The client was impressed by the high level of performance combined with economic efficiency.”

In the new stadium in the city of Rostow am Don, an additional 1,200 fishermen use FIS EM 390 S injection mortar and around 150,000 other products from the fastening specialist to anchor reinforcements, seats and railings in concrete. Here too, the fischer fastening solutions scored points because they are powerful and economical. In pull-out tests and test attachments of the seats, they proved that they are suitable for a high level of performance.

Other products from the fastening expert anchor reinforcements and steel structures in reinforced concrete in the Kazan Arena. The FIS V and FIS EM injection mortars and the FBN II bolt anchor were used, among others. The number of chemical fastening systems alone was 500. “In pull-out tests, our products proved to be a better alternative to competitor solutions,” reports Andrey Egorov.
60,000 fish ULTRACUT FBS II concrete screws were used in the Kosmos Arena in Samara and in the Mordowinia Arena in Saransk. The 120,000 steel anchors secure the spectator seats in reinforced concrete in both stadiums.

The playground in Kaliningrad, where 70,000 fishermen use fastening systems to secure the seats and guardrails, ensures a further World Cup atmosphere. In the Spartak stadium in Moscow, fisherman’s installation systems are also used to guide and secure the supply lines. The ALK boom bracket, the MS mounting rail and the FRS Plus pipe clamp were used here in particular. In addition, 8,000 fish long-stem anchors FUR and 17,000 fish long-stem anchors SXRL anchor the back-ventilated facade in concrete and slag bricks in the Olympia Stadium in Sochi, which was converted for the World Cup.

The stadiums in Russia all combine a representative look with modern technology. Thanks to fischer’s fastening systems and construction expertise, spectators can expect a successful football World Cup – with literal certainty.
