ANOTHER WIN FOR STUDOR
SSPS Enables Unique Domed Roof at Ferrari World Theme Park
The unique design of the Ferrari World Theme Park roof in the UAE, sporting a massive Ferrari logo, was only made possible using the Studor Single Pipe System (SSPS).
The Ferrari Theme Park is located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The 250,000 square metre (more than 2.6 million sq ft) park is an oasis of discovery, hospitality and beauty that captures the culture, flavour and spirit of Italy, as well as the legendary history and heritage of Ferrari cars and racing.
The iconic roof of Ferrari World is modelled after the side profile of a Ferrari GT. The indoor area of Ferrari World, measuring 86,000 m² (925,696 sq ft), is located under this 50 metre (164 ft) high roof, making it the largest indoor amusement park in the world.
A Ferrari logo adorns the roof of the building and is the largest Ferrari logo ever created. 12,370 tonnes of steel has been used to support the roof, whose centre is marked by a 100 metre (328 ft) glazed funnel.
Studor Takes Pole Position
A total of 110 Studor P.A.P.A.s, 310 Mini-Vents and 55 Maxi-Vents formed the SSPS used in the Ferrari World project. The Studor P.A.P.A.s were installed at the top of stacks to avoid the need for open venting through the roof.
In addition to providing the design expertise, Studor gave technical support as required and also ensured that the local authority regulations were adhered to by conducting periodical inspections.
A Winner Every Time
The use of the SSPS at Ferrari World avoided roof penetrations that would have significantly detracted from the stunning elegance of the design. Because the SSPS promotes a reduction in usage of raw materials, this solution also helped in significantly reducing the time, material and labour costs of ventilating the drainage system of such a massive project.
