Always a team player – not just for Euro 2024: stadium solutions from SCHELL

With emotions running high – and, ideally, preparations running smoothly – stadium operators and fans are looking forward to a summer of football in Germany, with Euro 2024 matches playing out in major stadiums nationwide throughout June and July. For the fit-out of football stadiums and sports arenas, SCHELL can contribute a wealth of expertise – and in a very important area: whatever the size and capacity of the semi-public and public sanitary facilities at sports venues, SCHELL offers a portfolio of made-to-measure stadium products. After all, where many people come together to celebrate sporting success, hygienic solutions to protect health are the most important players on the field. From the perspective of venue operators, cost-effectiveness, ruggedness and durability are also important aspects.

Clean sanitary systems without handling: contactless wash basin taps from SCHELL

The WHO does not mince its words: 80 percent of all pathogens enter a person’s body via their hands. At sporting fixtures and other major events, washrooms in sanitary facilities are used by a very large number of people. This is where SCHELL fittings featuring contactless or low-contact operation can minimise the risk of an infection from skin contact with potentially contaminated surfaces.

The use of electronic SCHELL fittings also offers sports stadium operators another benefit: compared with single-lever mixers, contactless taps can cut water consumption by up to 70 percent, while low-contact, self-closing taps can reduce water usage by as much as 55 percent. This is because water only flows when it is actually needed. More information about saving water and the SCHELL water savings calculator, for calculating the potential savings on water and energy costs.

Clean tech – literally: contactless urinal fittings from SCHELL

The electronics module in SCHELLTRONIC infrared exposed urinal flush valves is a real team player in very busy sanitary facilities. The module uses infrared to detect urinal usage and trigger a flush – and perfectly hygienically, as there is no contact at all. The housing is made from robust brass – just right for use under tough conditions – while the surface of the flush valve has an easy to care for chrome finish. In peak usage times, SCHELLTRONIC can also switch to stadium flush mode.

Good for the environment and operators: SCHELL’s stadium flush mode

Many fans use the half-time break to answer the call of nature. Sanitary facilities need to handle this situation efficiently. Thanks to the automatic stadium flush, electronic urinal fittings from SCHELL can automatically switch to this water-saving mode at times of very heavy use. Hygiene, of course, is maintained at the same high standards. The fitting exits stadium mode automatically when user traffic decreases.

Our hidden champion: COMPACT LC urinal control

The COMPACT LC urinal control is suitable for ceramic and stainless steel urinals, and features a sensor-controlled, contactless flush. Thanks to the concealed placement of the flush valve, control electronics and power supply, the COMPACT LC urinal control has reliable protection against vandalism, making it ideal for use in large sports venues. The corrosion-proof sensor is located in the odour trap, where it can reliably detect flushing requirements – despite the presence of the heavy scaling and encrustation that can result from intensive use. The minimalist, appealing design of this invisible control also blends seamlessly with modern approaches to sanitary facility fit-outs.

A familiar face at the stadium: long-lived SCHELL quality

Finding SCHELL products fitted at sports venues generates a bit of that ‘home game’ feeling, sending a clear signal that costs aren’t being cut at the fan’s expense. Operators also know that, thanks to their wide range of features, SCHELL fittings are ideal for use in their sports venues. As they need to hold up to heavy use in very busy sanitary facilities, many stadium products from SCHELL are designed for maximum ruggedness – one example being the hardwearing, durable shower fittings made by SCHELL. After all, showers are part of the basic infrastructure in any sports centre. Visually, the design of SCHELL products for stadium use is also very appealing. As seasoned pros for fittings in public sanitary facilities, we know that people tend to treat environments they feel at home in with greater care and attention.

Water management is a key ask for sports venues

Drinking water is consumed not only in sanitary facilities, but also in technical rooms, and the stadium’s hospitality and event areas. To keep drinking water installations of this size running hygienically, operators need to take appropriate precautions. The SCHELL SWS Water Management System helps venue managers to maintain drinking water quality. SWS can be used to network and control electronic fittings and other products from SCHELL. SWS helps to keep operations compliant by automating stagnation flushes and their associated record-keeping, for example. SWS supports the simulation of specified normal operation by assigning fittings to groups for simultaneous flushing – across all tapping points in the stadium while also integrating into the stadium’s higher-level building control system. As products can be networked using wired and/or wireless connections, SWS can handle a wide range of on-site structural conditions. Remote access from any device is also offered by the encrypted SMART.SWS online service. This gives facility managers and operators a central location for keeping tabs on all of their venues and buildings. SWS is scalable and offers a rapid ROI from local clubhouses all the way up to international sports arenas.

Have any other questions about water management with SWS? We look forward to your enquiry and will be happy to advise you.

SCHELL hopes all fans enjoy a fantastic Euro 2024!
