A temporary sports hall disassembled after 2 years of use and rebuilt in exactly the same design and dimensions in another municipality – only 13 kilometers away. A textbook example of demountable and circular building by the temporary buildings specialist Neptunus GmbH.
It is a situation that occurred in the Lorentzweiler and Strassen municipalities in Luxembourg. Just like in Lorentzweiler, the current sports hall in Strassen required a thorough renovation. Because this renovation would take at least 18 months, the municipality of Strassen was looking for temporary accommodation. In their search for a suitable temporary solution, a delegation of Strassen visited the temporary sports hall in the neighboring municipality and was immediately charmed by the dismountable sports halls that Neptunus had built there.
Completely reused
It was fortunate that the end of the rental period was in sight in Lorentzweiler, which also meant a great opportunity for the municipality of Strassen. The temporary sports hall is completely dismountable and can therefore be moved – like a sort of LEGO system - to a new location. That is exactly what happened. All materials were transported from one municipality to another and rebuilt. Even the building plan could be reused. All installations such as heating, fire alarms, ventilation and lighting were also reused, as well as the sports floor and sports equipment such as turn racks, basketball hoops and scoreboard. “Sustainable reuse in its best form and a cost-efficient solution for the municipality”, the company told in its press release.
For this project Neptunus worked together with the same partners, which made the whole process run smoothly. Eventually a dismountable sports hall (720m2) including sports floors, acoustic walls, grandstand and storage, changing rooms, showers and toilets (180 m2) was rebuilt. Despite the fact that it is a demountable building, no concessions were made in the field of technical building regulations according to Neptunus. This sports hall, of the 'Flexolution' type, complies with the latest energy and environmental standards, the company says. The adapted wall panels ensure optimal acoustics in the hall.
