2023 JEC Composites Innovation Awards Winner - Nanotures

The Composite Roof of The Stadium Of Real Madrid was developed by Nanotures (Spain)and partners: COMPOSYST– DIAB – FIBERTEX– Gavazzi– MAP Yachting– MEL– SAERTEX GmbH & Co. KG - Sicomin– SKY– Zoltek

Three elements are mechanically joined to reach beams with a span of 75 m. The manufacturing process was infusion with double VAP membrane, avoiding the use of holes in the core and excess polymer.
Critical parameters such as fiber linearity and core joints have been controlled in production to obtain elements with high compression resistance. Strategically, different reinforcements have been utilized in the design to meet the load case and assist in joining to the metallic elements. Finally, the lightweight composite beams allow simplification in the assembly operations on site as well as the simplification, weight and energy reduction of the displacement and elevation motors.

Key benefits

Weight reduction and simplification on site installation
Excellent mechanical properties
Environmental and energy benefit
