In Uzbekistan, at the Chimgan ski resort, construction is underway on an innovative five-star hotel. A key feature of the hotel complex will be a ski slope that starts directly from the building's roof, accessible to both skiers and snowboarders.
Chimgan is an all-season ski resort located in the Chimgan River valley on the western ridge of the Tian Shan mountains. The high-altitude landscapes, variety of slopes for different skill levels, and developed tourist infrastructure attract thousands of tourists annually.
Currently, a unique five-star Swiss Hotel complex is being actively built at the resort. Its main highlight will be the ski slope from the hotel roof, which determined the building's spiral shape, becoming its visual dominant feature.
The ski slope is a complex engineering structure designed for constant dynamic loads. Since it also functions as a roof, the requirements for reliability and strength of the structure significantly increase. Implementing the project required a system of proven materials with high strength and durability. Additional requirements are dictated by the mountain climate: the materials used must withstand sharp temperature fluctuations and be resistant to seismic activity. The scale of the object is also important—it was necessary to ensure quick installation over large areas without loss of quality.
Considering all these factors, the system from TEKHNONIKOL—TN-KROVLYA Barrier Tротуар—was chosen, specifically developed for operation under intensive dynamic and static loads. For waterproofing, the LOGICBASE PVC membrane is used—a fully hermetic, elastic, and durable material that reliably protects the structure from moisture penetration. The membrane's service life reaches up to 150 years. The material is easy and quick to install, suitable for covering large areas, and is welded with hot air using automatic equipment, without open flame. Additionally, LOGICBASE is resistant to seismic loads, which is especially important for mountainous regions: the membrane maintains integrity during underground tremors and friction.
The thermal insulation layer of the system is made from TEKHNONIKOL CARBON PROF XPS boards.
Protective and drainage functions are provided by the PLANTER Geo profiled drainage membrane. It evenly distributes the load on the underlying layers, and the TYPAR thermally bonded geotextile effectively filters water due to its structure. Drainage channels formed by the membrane protrusions remove excess moisture from under the operational layer.
The operational layer in the TN-KROVLYA Barrier Tротуар system is made as a concrete screed. For Swiss Hotel, a layer of artificial snow will be placed on it.
Completion of construction is planned for 2026. The new hotel will become a vivid example of combining unique architecture, innovative engineering solutions, and high reliability.
