MONTREAL — The agency that oversees Montreal's Olympic Stadium is looking for ideas to reuse the components of the building's tattered, old roof — including membranes the size of 26 hockey rinks and cables 12 kilometres long.
"The competition is open to the international community in order to collect as many suggestions as possible that are optimal for the environment, the economy and society," the provincial agency that manages the Olympic site said in a statement. Supporting cables, inner and outer membranes and hardware are among the roof components the agency is looking to repurpose. The total dimension of the roof's two membranes is 42,000 square metres, roughly the size of 26 hockey rinks; the total length of the cables is about 12 kilometres, as long as Montreal's St-Laurent Boulevard; meanwhile, the roof includes 434 steel connectors that secure the cables.
"It's not simple, but I believe that uses can be found for such material in an age of sustainability or circularity, when we do not get rid or discard," Friedman said on Tuesday.
