The new Santiago Bernabéu is proving to be an example of technological and engineering innovation, thanks to the latest developments already completed, which enhance the experience for both players and spectators to a level that is pioneering in world soccer.
Talat has also participated in the improvement of the stadium, working with the latest advances in the following areas engineering and achieving milestones that are being recognized internationally.
More specifically, from Talat we have developed the air conditioning and ventilation installations by providing underfloor heating to the lawn trays.
What is the hypogeum of the new Santiago Bernabéu?
The most striking feature of the hypogeum of the new Santiago Bernabéu is that it is hidden from view. However, its role is decisive for the games played in the stadium.
It is a huge greenhouse which is present in the lower part of the stadium and has been designed to, among other functions, house the six huge grass trays that, based on the club's needs, will either be taken out to play on it or hidden, to ensure its optimal preservation.
In this way, the number of events that can be held without impacting the turf will be the maximum possible, always respecting the club's official match calendar, with the ultimate goal recognized by the Madrid club being the celebration of events of various kinds.
Characteristics of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium hypogeum
This subway structure is used to store the 6 grass trays that make up the playing field of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
It is a pit of 30 meters of unevenness divided into 6 levels or floors where the grass trays of dimensions 105 m long x 11.6 m wide and approximately 1,500 tons of weight each are housed vertically.
Engineering with BIM technology at the new Santiago Bernabéu
The project of the hypogeum developed in part by Talat in the new Santiago Bernabeu, has been fully addressed with BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, which represents the greatest advance in engineering that has been achieved for years in the sector and which requires the different contributions of all the actors involved in the work: architecture, structure, installations, etc.
Specifically, the company has been in charge of the design and execution of all the air conditioning of the hypogeum, for which it has taken advantage of the potential of BIM modeling and coordination in the technical office, based on the criteria set by the client and with full multidisciplinary coordination with all parties involved.
Precisely this coordination of all the parties involved in an engineering project is one of the most outstanding characteristics of the BIM methodology, which allows a joint participation in real time, to optimize costs, investment, resources and work.
The global installation that allows the air conditioning and ventilation inside the hypogeum of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium is a unique, innovative and differentiating installation in many aspects thanks to a correct design and a wise choice of mechanical equipment and its integration in a centralized control system or BMS that allows its automation for the subsequent operation and maintenance of the installation.
Talat professionals behind the engineering success in the new Santiago Bernabéu
When we talk about engineering and advanced technology projects, we must not forget that behind them are professionals whose vision, talent and disposition allow them to approach these developments in a favorable way and achieve the proposed objectives.
In the case of the new Santiago Bernabéu, there are many people behind the success of developments such as the hypogeum.
Among them we can highlight the participation of Andreu Fiol Salon, engineer and systems integrator at Talat, with more than 8 years of experience in the company.
The responsibility of Andreu and the start-up team at the new Santiago Bernabéu has been decisive, given that their work has been to facilitate the implementation of the new equipment for the air conditioning system of the stadium's hypogeum, to achieve automation and control of the agronomic conditions that must be guaranteed for the turf of the playing field.
Thanks to this work, the new Santiago Bernabeu will be able to ensure that your lawn will maintain optimal conditions conservation for as long as it is hidden inside the hypogeum.
In this space, the innovation in engineering, combined with machinery, irrigation and lawn treatment resources, allow for all-day lawn care by professionals who supervise and manage all the work.
The result, however, is only visible to players and spectators when the turf is recovered for use in a match. As a result, the pitch at the new Santiago Bernabéu is one of the best maintained and best maintained in the sport worldwide.
Engineering applied to Talat sports facilities
The engineering work at the new Santiago Bernabéu is impressive and what has been achieved with it shows what can be achieved by investing in the best professionals.
But to get to this point, experience also helps to perfect engineering services such as those offered by Talat.
In fact, the company has had the privilege of being able to develop in the last few years a number of different engineering projects specifically applied to sports facilities.
These include electricity and telecommunication infrastructure, telecommunication nodes and lighting in the Son Moix Stadium in Palma.
This work was part of a project to redesign part of the stadium in order to improve the conditions in which the club's fans can enjoy their favorite sport.
Thanks to Talat's work, fans are also enjoying 28 LED lights that dress the stadium at night with the colors of Real Mallorca and highlights the entire perimeter that is higher than its stands.
Previously the company was also responsible for the complete project and executive management and engineering management of the Rafa Nadal Tennis Center in Manacor. The work included BMS control of the facilities.
Talat's experience in engineering projects in sports applications prior to its success in the new Santiago Bernabeu has also been cemented in a project in Madrid. This is the construction of Sputking Climbing Las Rozas, the largest indoor climbing wall in Europe.
Talat has addressed the electrical and mechanical installations to technologically enable the best climbing area in Spain and in most of the world.
The hypogeum of the new Santiago Bernabéu represents a before and after in terms of sports engineering. Thanks to this development, the stadium has become a world pioneer in the field of sports engineering. treatment of your pitch turf, thanks to the technological innovations in automation and control that Talat has helped to integrate into this ambitious project.
