Promat is providing a fire protection solution at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.

Promat Promatect-B reinforced calcium silicate board is used in partly-exposed areas of the Irish stadium. A combination of 9mm thick Promat Supalux and 9mm thick Promatect-HD is also being used for other areas of the arena, such as semi-exposed wall linings, which are subject to rain and impact damage.

Peter Keenan, Promat business manager for Ireland, said: “This is a very complex building with lots of semi exposed locations. As it was a rebuild project there were also numerous space limitations, and so being able to accommodate these by sourcing a variety of different fire protection products from a single specialist manufacturer was a significant advantage.”

The project saw the rebuilding of the Lansdowne Road stadium to create a facility that can seat more than 50,000 people.
