2'

Cutting-edge waterproofing solutions for one of the key infrastructures of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

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 built to 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. Working in such a significant context means not just providing a product, but also ensuring method statements, 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, successfully welcoming athletes and international spectators for the 2026 events.

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