Bedachung des Stadions Lansdowne Road [Aviva-Stadion] in Dublin, Irland, gebaut mit Lexan*-Platten von SABIC Innovative Plastics>BERGEN OP ZOOM, Niederlande – 2. März 2010 – Es ist durchaus möglich, dass Rugby- und Fußballfans in Dublin ihre Augen weniger auf den Spielstand, sondern vor allem auf die Struktur des neuen Aviva-Stadions richten werden. Die transparenten, geschwungen verlaufenden Wände sind aus widerstandsfähigen, praktisch unzerbrechlichen Polycarbonatplatten vom Typ Lexan* Exell D gebaut, was dem Stadion eine außergewöhnliche Eleganz verleiht, sowie hervorragende Eigenschaften und bedeutende Umweltvorteile bietet. Als Anerkennung für den strategischen Beitrag der Lexan-Plattentechnologie zum Stadion hat nun der Unternehmerverband European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders (EPSE) die Leistungen von SABIC Innovative Plastics mit dem Preis Best Project and Innovation Award 2009 bedacht. Damit hat nun SABIC Innovative Plastics zum zweiten Mal eine EPSE-Auszeichnung erhalten. Im Jahr 2008 hatte das Unternehmen den ersten Preis in der Kategorie „Best Innovation“ für die Metrostation Carmes in der französischen Stadt Toulouse gewonnen – wo die Dachkonstruktion ebenfalls mit Lexan Exell D-Platten ausgeführt wurde. SABIC Innovative Plastics investiert weiter in neue Werkstoffe wie Lexan Exell D-Platten und verhilft damit Kunden im Hochbau und Tiefbau zu Erfolg.
