The SCR Altach football stadium was expanded in 2025 to include the Business Club

Drinking water hygiene with no extra effort SCR Altach (Austria)

With its new multifunctional building, SCR Altach has created a modern venue for sport, health and events. Geberit Connect ensures compliant operation – efficiently and without the need for additional staff.

SCR Altach, an Austrian Bundesliga football club from Vorarlberg, plays its home games at the Schnabelholz Stadium. The new Business Club was added as part of a targeted expansion of the stadium’s facilities.

On match days, the Business Club serves as a VIP area and houses the changing rooms for both teams, including showers. The venue is also used beyond match days and can accommodate up to 1,000 guests, making it suitable for a wide range of events. There’s also a publicly accessible physiotherapy practice with a gym, integrated sanitary installations and a commercial kitchen. The facilities serve a wide range of purposes, but usage varies significantly.

To ensure drinking water hygiene under these conditions, Stolz chose Geberit Connect. The solution ensures standards-compliant operation, reduces monitoring effort and enables transparent documentation of operating parameters.

The brief Drinking water hygiene and operational safety with fluctuating use

How much the sanitary installations around the stadium area are used varies significantly: During events, there’s high demand, but during downtimes, the systems are only used sporadically. However, the physio and fitness areas experience more consistent use.

These different usage patterns cause significant variations in flow rates and water consumption across the large building.

The challenge was to ensure consistently high drinking water quality in the building – even with fluctuating use and extended periods of inactivity.

Additional requirements:

  • Low operating expenses with no need for additional staff
  • End-to-end, transparent documentation of operational status
  • Installed within a short time frame during the off-season
