MVM Dome Budapest

Challenge

At event venues built on the scale of the MVM Dome Budapest, the peak levels of use experienced at times in the sanitary facilities present a particular challenge. During a major event, the sanitary equipment installed in the WCs at this multipurpose arena needs to reliably handle use by up to 20,000 visitors. Product qualities such as resistance to vandalism and robust construction are therefore very important. Compliance with demanding hygienic standards is also required and, last but not least, criteria like energy efficiency and sustainability also need to be met.

Solution

A total of 214 of SCHELL’s XERIS SC self-closing wash basin taps were installed in the visitor WCs at MVM Dome. Featuring a timeless, linear design, the fittings offer manual operation but close automatically after a configurable flow time of 2 to 15 seconds. The water flow volume does not exceed 5 l per minute, making these taps especially economical. The self-closing technology also offers significant advantages for sanitary facilities with high footfall like those in the MVM Dome. On the one hand, this automatic closing system considerably reduces water consumption. On the other, these chromed brass fittings also improve user hygiene in the washrooms because, once hands are clean, the flow of water does not need to be shut off again manually after handwashing but simply stops automatically without intervention from washroom patrons. Since most infectious diseases are transmitted via the hands, this is an especially positive factor in terms of user hygiene. The minimalist product design also makes the taps especially vandal-resistant, since there are no obvious ‘targets’ such as protruding handles. With these well thought-out product features and a highly functional design, the XERIS SC self-closing wash basin taps from SCHELL integrate seamlessly with the modern, high-quality design approach taken by the multipurpose MVM Dome stadium.
