Sports and multi-purpose halls

Our sports and multi-purpose halls offer room options that cater specifically to the intended use. Prefabrication at the factory, freely selectable exterior design and excellent functionality make a highly efficient combination. What’s more, our working group system encourages local trades to get involved in the project.

Structural inspections

Every structure ought to be periodically inspected to check its serviceability. This ensures that structures provide a long, sustainable and cost-effective service life – and maximum safety – for a modest budget. As the owner or operator of a building, you can turn to our experts for advice and support in the form of coordinated procedures in the following areas:

 

  • Visual inspections of the wooden supporting structure and its connections, including random testing such as moisture content measurements, core drilling, etc.
  • Systematic and detailed recording of the supporting structure and its connections
  • Structural dimensioning of the supporting structure based on detailed recording work or existing plans
  • Material checks in collaboration with recognised testing laboratories
  • Development of an inspection and maintenance plan with periodic checks
  • Refurbishment and strengthening measures based on costing done in advance

 

EVERY CONSTRUCTION IS VALUABLE AND THUS WORTH PRESERVING  You benefit from our many years of experience in planning, manufacturing and constructing wooden structures of all dimensions and designs. When a project involves specialist tasks, we automatically consult with external experts to ensure you receive a professional, comprehensive consultancy service.
