The Ice Palace is a complex architectural structure designed for winter sports events. The design of this type of structures is carried out by the general designer in conjunction with contractor companies developing various systems for individual technical specifications.
The Ice Palace is an architectural structure intended for a number of sports events, which include an indoor sports skating rink, around the perimeter of which spectator stands are located. Ice palaces are used for games and training in hockey, figure skating and other winter sports.
Depending on the purpose of a particular ice arena, the palace project may include additional training grounds, changing rooms for teams, fast food establishments and stores selling hockey club merchandise.
Development of technical conditions
The building codes in force in the Russian Federation do not put forward specific rules for the design of such structures, therefore, at the beginning of the creation of the ice palace project, special technical conditions are developed, drawn up in the form of a separate document. The technical conditions are agreed upon by the competent representatives of the sports federations, the list of which depends on the specialization of the projected structure.
Interaction of the general designer with contractors
The result of the creation of the ice rink project is a complete set of working documentation, sufficient for the construction of the structure and the installation of its life support systems. The complexity of such structures involves the participation of several organizations in the project, each of which is responsible for a certain segment of work. General management of the development of the ice rink project and coordination of the actions of the rest of the participants is carried out by the general designer. He draws up a set of technical specifications, which serve as the initial data for the projects of contractor companies.
Equipment design and integration
The complexity and composition of the ice palace project depends on a set of technical and economic indicators, which include the total area of the building area and the area of each level, the number of seats, the height of the vaults and the weight of the metal structures.
The main building of the palace is the arena, which presupposes the presence of a refrigeration unit for the production of high-quality ice cover. Under the ice cover lies a system of pipes through which refrigerant circulates, pumped by powerful compressors. The design of the refrigeration system and its integration into the design of the ice palace is carried out by one of the specialized companies, the direction of which is the development of industrial refrigeration equipment.
