Stadium inspection

VdS has inspected a large part of the fire protection systems at the Warsaw National Stadium, used to host the recent European football championship. The enormous number of people visiting the stadium placed high demands on fire protection technology in the 203,920m2 complex, which is why Polish authorities (NCS) had the stadium's fire protection systems approved by the VdS Inspection Services.

"Our German and Polish VdS engineers performed joint plan analyses, routine building inspections and the final on-site approval of around 30,000 sprinklers with 37 alarm valve stations, as well as 16 gas extinguishing systems," says Thomas Afeltowicz-Schultz, head of the Polish VdS subsidiary in Warsaw.
