Context

Volteco supplied premium waterproofing systems for the Santa Giulia Ice Hockey Arena in Milan, a key facility for the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

In the heart of the Santa Giulia district in Milan, stands the Santa Giulia Ice Hockey Arena, a 16,000-seat multipurpose facility that will host ice hockey matches at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Spread across eight levels and covering 77,000 square meters, the arena represents a masterpiece of modern engineering, integrated into a 10,000 square meter urban area.

 

The challenge

Protect the concrete foundation structures from water and groundwater infiltration in a sports facility subject to heavy loads and constant humidity and provide a protective barrier against radon and methane gases.

Technologies and products

The Volteco solutions adopted ensured a high-performance application, thanks to Amphibia 3000 Grip: a hydro-reactive EPDM membrane, self-healing and self-sealing upon contact with water, used for pre-cast waterproofing of the foundations and for protecting the environment from gases, particularly radon and methane.

WT 102 and WT Panel, the high-performance, hydro-reactive systems chosen to seal the connections and joints of the concrete structures represent the additional second line of defense from water, always preferred in such sensitive and high-value projects.

These solutions allowed for continuous protection even on complex geometries.

In addition to high-end products, Volteco provided technical support during the design and construction phases, as working in such a significant context means not just providing a product, but also ensuring method statement, customized solutions, reliability, promptness, and quality—all key elements of Volteco’s approach.

Volteco’s experience, with 50 years of leadership in waterproofing, transformed a technical challenge into a resilient project, ready to welcome athletes and international spectators starting February 5, 2026.

This project combines innovation, reliability, and compliance with Olympic timelines, confirming Volteco as a strategic partner for major infrastructure projects.
