Share

Estádio Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, will enhance the view from its stands and create more space for fans, using Q-railing’s glass handrail systems, in preparation for major upcoming sporting events.

SerplacRio, a large Rio de Janeiro construction company, is responsible for the installation of all Q-railing systems in various rings and lodges. Martin Mittelstaedt, Business Development Manager at Q-railing said:

“We’re honoured and excited to be involved with the Maracanã’s renovations. As well as the obvious visual benefits of transparency in the stands, our glass systems will promote a clean, modern design, without losing the key safety aspect of railings.”
Thousands of excited fans will be protected by Easy Glass® 3kN, which can cope with up to 3 Kilonewton loads and meets the highest safety standards.
