More than 10,000 m² of stainless steel wire mesh elements were installed at the ceilings of the stadium in Krasnodar, Russia. A brilliant covering with individual cutouts for lamps, video cameras or speakers!

One of the most remarkable stadium structures of the FIFA World Cup 2018 was realized in Krasnodar, Russia. The new home stadium of FC Krasnodar was designed by the architectural firms gmp Architekten and Speech Architecture. The three-part façade of the elliptical stadium is covered with light-coloured travertine, which strongly resembles of an ancient amphitheatre in its external appearance. For the ceiling cladding, the architects also used over 10,000 m² of stainless steel wire mesh from Haver & Boecker.

Exclusive ceiling elements made of architectural mesh HAVER Architectural Mesh is not only perfect for cladding façades, it is also convincing as an aesthetic interior cladding. Due to its semi-transparent structure, it is ideal for cladding technical systems. On the one hand, it covers and protects the sensitive equipment from mechanical influences, and on the other hand, the free cross-section of the wire mesh ensures that it continues to function perfectly. The mesh is also convincing in terms of sustainability – at the end of a long service life, the stainless steel mesh can be recycled sustainably.

Brilliant cladding with individual design Due to a comprehensive range of coarse and fine mesh, flexible and rigid mesh types as well as a multiplicity of various mounting possibilities, metal mesh coverings offers new possibilities for individual plans and exclusive design concepts. Depending on the installation situation, the metal meshes can be realized straight or wavy, in strained tracks

or in removable elements. For the stadium in Krasnodar, the architects selected HAVER Architectural Mesh EGLA-MONO 5031, which has a particularly homogeneous visual appearance due to its smooth surface.

Customized solution For the covering of the ceilings, custom-made mesh elements up to 4.7 m long and up to 2.3 m wide were manufactured from HAVER Architectural Mesh EGLA-MONO 5031. The individual mesh elements are folded by 90° and attached to frame elements. The elements are removable and have different cutouts for various installations such as lamps, video cameras and loudspeakers. In total, Haver & Boecker produced 1,627 stainless steel wire mesh elements in 260 different element types with over 900 precisely fitting cutouts for various technical installations.
