Walo lays the foundation for top-class sport

Dietikon ZH/München, December 2023

Dietikon ZH/München - Das Dietiker Bauunternehmen Walo Bertschinger verlegt die Böden in der neuen Mehrzwecksporthalle SAP Garden in München. Dort muss der Belag innerhalb von kürzester Zeit von Eisbetrieb auf Basketball umgebaut werden können.

Walo Bertschinger is installing the new flooring in the Munich SAP Garden construction project. According to the Dietiker construction company’s Facebook post, this presents a special challenge. The multi-purpose sports hall will be the new home of both the German ice hockey champions Red Bull Munich and the former German basketball champions FC Bayern Munich. The surface must therefore be chosen in such a way that it can be converted from ice hockey to basketball within a very short space of time. According to Walo Bertschinger, Duratex freezing slabs, including the necessary substructure, have already been installed on two of the four surfaces.

The SAP Garden will be the new home of Red Bull Munich and an additional venue for FC Bayern Basketball. Sports-related events, such as e-sports, will also be held in the heart of the Munich Olympic Park in future, according to the operators. The multifunctional sports arena is set to open its doors in 2024. The spectator capacity is said to be up to 11,500 guests. The key figures state that the floor area is 22,512 square meters and the façade 6,114 square meters. A total of 54,332 cubic meters of concrete and around 13,160 tons of steel are to be used.

In the immediate vicinity of the SAP Garden construction site, Red Bull, FC Bayern Basketball and the software company SAP have set up the Experience Center for interested visitors. The 160 square meter exhibition area provides an initial insight into the new arena.
