High Quality
Construction Solutions

A Strong Sense of
Social Responsibility

The history of Sika began in 1910, when

Kaspar Winkler developed and provided a
completely new solution for chemically
waterproofing cement mortars and concretes,
for the Gotthard rail tunnel running through the
Swiss Alps. Today Sika is the global technology
and market leader in speciality chemicals for
construction and industry, providing complete
systems and problem solutions. Sika personnel
are active, and our products are in use, on all

Letzigrund Stadium, Zurich, Switzerland

Project: refurbishment and extension of an architecturally ambitious athletics and football stadium
in the heart of Zurich, for the European Football Championship in 2008 and the annual World Class
Zurich track-and-field meet.
Requirements: erection within a very short time of a fair-faced concrete structure using advanced
concrete technology to incorporate substantial quantities of recycled aggregates. The new structure
was erected as the old stadium was dismantled and processed on-site to produce these aggregates.
Therefore the transport of materials could be minimized and the building procedures were carried out
in a highly sustainable manner.
Sika Concrete Admixture Solutions: Sika concrete admixtures formulated especially for use with recycled aggregates in both summer and winter conditions, combined with a comprehensive quality assurance
programme that led to successful completion of this technically and ecologically challenging project.

Steel Corrosion and Fire Protection

Corrosion protection of roof structures

Corrosion protection of roof structures

Main Market Competence

In stadiums two important factors to be considered regarding the steel structure are preventing steel corrosion, which could significantly reduce the structures durability and
lifespan, together with performance in fire,
which could cause loss of structural integrity
and endanger life.
Sika provides cost effective, durable protective
coating systems for protecting stadium structures against corrosion and fire. Sika corrosion
products withstand the effects of extreme
weathering, mechanical abrasion and chemical
attack. Sika fire protection coatings give additional time for evacuation, rescuing people and
providing safety for fire-fighters. These Sika
systems all have the added advantage of low
volatile organic compound (VOC) contents and
good aesthetic appearance to complement the
architects design.

Fire protection of different structures

Technology and Quality

Sikas steel coating products are based on

epoxy, polyurethane and other modified resin
technologies. They include many products with
low VOC and high build systems to reduce application costs. The products are available in
an almost unlimited range of colours to meet
architects' requirements.
Sika fire protection coatings can also be applied on other substrates such as reinforced
concrete and wood. These intumescent coatings work by expanding in the heat of a fire to
create an air filled insulation layer that resists
excessive heat and protects the steel from
early structural failure.
Sika corrosion products comply with the highest international and national standards, including ISO EN 12944.

The Emirates Stadium, London, UK

Project: This stunning new stadium in north London won the prestigious UK Building magazine's 2007
Project of the year Awards. It is the home of Arsenal Football Club.
Requirements: Design flexibility for shape, form and colour, detailing solutions for the complex
supporting structure and fully guaranteed. The roof waterproofing system had to have proven long
term performance. 27'000m of roofing membrane had to be applied quickly and securely without
compromising quality and safety.
Sika Roofing Solutions: Sarnafil S327 PVC based membrane was selected in a special colour by
the architect. The membrane was fixed with the Sika Sarnafast system to speed up the installation.
Additional Sika Solutions: Sikafloor -261 Thixo, Sikafloor -20 PurCem for protective flooring on the concourses, plus the catering, sanitary and kitchen areas.
