Stadium inspection

VdS has inspected a large part of the
fire protection systems at the Warsaw
National Stadium, used to host the
recent European football
championship. The enormous
number of people visiting the stadium
placed high demands on fire
protection technology in the
203,920m2 complex, which is why
Polish authorities (NCS) had the
stadium’s fire protection systems
approved by the VdS Inspection
Services.

“Our German and Polish VdS
engineers performed joint plan
analyses, routine building inspections
and the final on-site approval of
around 30,000 sprinklers with 37
alarm valve stations, as well as 16 gas
extinguishing systems,” says Thomas
Afeltowicz-Schultz, head of the Polish
VdS subsidiary in Warsaw.
