The new Batumi football stadium was designed in accordance with UEFA requirements and can accommodate up to 20,000 spectators. Outside the stadium there are parking areas and gardens, and the access paths are paved with decorative patterns: spectators are guided through lanes protected by metal structures so that their movement is safe.

The structure is built on a reinforced concrete frame from the foundations to the pillars, load-bearing walls, beams, slabs and stands; the roof is a cantilevered steel truss. The stadium is equipped with Rainplus systems for rainwater drainage.

What it shows for a Finnish project

On a stand roof the rainwater drainage is sized for heavy rain and is part of the structure's protection. According to Valsir, the Rainplus syphonic rainwater system is sized for extreme rainfall and protects the building in extreme weather.
