Challenge
Outdoor ice skating has become a popular winter leisure activity across Europe.
Local government in Budapest wanted to create state-of-the-art ice attractions for the community providing quality sports for all ages.
The event organisers decided to build Csepel Skating Park (Csepeli Jégpark). With a total area of 950 m2, the park would offer a unique skating experience with two different ice areas:
-
Ice rink 25 x 30 m
-
Ice corridor 2.5 m wide x 150 m long winding through the surrounding park.
The challenge of this design was to create a uniform and smooth skating surface throughout the different skating areas.
Solution
Trane Rental Services was selected for their reliable expertise in chilling ice rinks and 24/7 on-call service.
The local hire team provided a full turnkey solution. Trane’s experienced hire engineers surveyed the site to select the best cooling equipment for this special ice cooling project.
Two high performance chillers with quick-freezing properties were installed and commissioned. A thick and smooth ice surface was created providing a high quality and safe skating experience for all.
Results
The opening ceremony was a fantastic celebration. Figure skating champions Nóra Hoffmann and Attila Elek gave a spectacular performance with the participation of their ice-dancing friends and violin player Edvin Marton.
The skating rink remained open to the public every day from the end
of November to March. It was also the perfect setting for special
events such as racing, all-night skating, speedy stunts, broomball
games or curling.
The team oversaw the whole project and
ensured the ice cooling remained optimal for the duration of the
rental. The successful skating park experience and the quality ice
provided throughout the winter season made it one of the most popular
outdoor rinks in the Hungarian capital.
