On April 8, Germany-based steel giant ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe announced that it has supplied 25,000 square meters of steel sandwich elements for the construction of a new sports stadium in Melbourne, Australia. The stadium, which cost AU$267.5 million in total (around 180 million euros), is covered by a roof of Hoesch isowand vario® elements.

The new sports facility, recently named AAMI-Park after an Australian insurance company, is also known as ‘Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.'

According to the company's statement, the product in question is a steel sandwich element designed for modern industrial architecture with high aesthetic requirements. The element, which comprises two thin steel face sheets enclosing a thick polyurethane rigid foam core, has first-class heat insulation properties and is low in weight. The product's corrosion protection is ensured by means of a duplex coating system, in which first a zinc layer and then a paint or plastic finish is applied to the steel face sheets. The elements can be supplied in thicknesses of 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 millimeters.
