The waterproofing of the underground structures of the Tissot Arena, starting with the underground car park, was realised with the Drytech Tank system.
The multifunctional sports and cultural complex is unique in Switzerland in that it combines a football stadium, an ice hockey stadium, an ice rink, a football training ground and a curling hall under the same roof.
In mid-2016, three more outdoor training grounds were completed to complete the overall stadium facilities. Inside, there are also large commercial areas, cinemas and a large multi-storey car park built with the waterproof concrete structure of the Drytech Tank.
The flexibility of the rooms also allows the stadium to host cultural events of all kinds, from concerts to conferences, allowing the facility to be used every day of the week.
In addition, Energie-Service Biel operates the world’s largest stadium-integrated solar power plant on the roof of the Tissot Arena.
