International temporary structure specialist Neptunus has created a bespoke sports hall for the Dutch Judo Association at the National Sports Centre Papendal in the Netherlands.
The facility, named Ruskahal for Holland’s two-time Olympic Champion Willem ‘Wim’ Ruska, opened in March 2017 and took just 12 weeks to complete.
Using its Flexolution semi-permanent building system Neptunus created a state-of-the-art judo hall featuring a Dojo (a formal martial arts training space), a grandstand, medical facilities, changing rooms, showers, toilets and office spaces.
Flexolution is a modular building system that has the appearance of a permanent structure but can be dismantled and reused, making it completely flexible and sustainable. It is designed to meet the same stringent energy and environmental requirements as that of a permanent building, and can be operational for up to 20 years.
Neptunus managing director April Trasler, says: “Our semi-permanent sports halls can be built fast and efficiently, they offer cost-effective space solutions for a wide variety of sports - and they are demountable, so they can be taken down and reassembled at a new location if required.
