Features of the Ice Rink for Outdoor Rinks

• The ice rink can be customized to fit specific dimensions.
• The enclosure can be either transparent or a standard board-style, with the latter offering simplicity and reliability in operation.
• Construction work is required to install the concrete technological slab with:
• Refrigeration piping system for cooling the ice surface.
• Heating pipes to prevent freezing of the floor structure.
• Thermal insulation covering on the ice surface (used for non-skating events).
• A container-type refrigeration unit, complete with a condenser and protective structure, is necessary to maintain optimal conditions and ice quality.

Refrigeration System

The refrigeration system is installed outside the building, at the location specified in the project, with optional upgrades such as low-noise versions.

Board Systems

The hockey boards, with the option for external advertising placement, must:

• Ensure athlete safety

• Provide additional spectator barriers

• Maintain high reliability

• Offer maximum ease of maintenance

Additionally, a protective netting is placed on the ends or may cover the entire ice surface.

Equipment

• Ice resurfacing units and snow removal machines are used as additional equipment.

• Decorative fencing around equipment ensures it does not disrupt the aesthetic appeal in park areas.
