Nordec awarded structural frame contract for new two-rink ice arena in Stockholm

Nordec Group Oy press release 11.06.2026 09.30

Nordec has been awarded a contract for the structural frame of a new ice arena facility with two ice rinks at Sätra idrottsplats in Stockholm. The project is being carried out for SSEA Svensk Samverkansentreprenadaktiebolag. The facility, developed by Hemsö, will include a match hall with seating for approximately 1,200 spectators and a second hall for training. 

In addition to the two ice rinks, the facility includes supporting spaces such as changing rooms, technical areas and service spaces. The total area is approximately 10,400 m². 

Nordec’s scope includes steel structures, hollow core slabs, precast concrete elements, load-bearing sheets and sandwich panels. The structure is based on a steel column and beam system with roof trusses, enabling open rink areas with spans of over 50 metres. 

“The large-span roof structures for the ice halls place particular demands on planning and installation. Nordec’s experience from numerous similar arena projects, together with our design, production and installation expertise, ensures efficient execution throughout the construction phase”. says Minna Kuusela-Opas, Senior Vice President, Multi-storey at Nordec. 

Design work started at the end of 2025. Installation of the structural frame started in May 2026, and the project is scheduled for completion in summer 2027.

Nordec Group Oy press release 19.02.2026 09.30

Nordec has been awarded a contract to deliver the engineering, manufacturing and installation of the steel frame for the new Arctic Arena in Bodø, Norway. The delivery is part of a contract with Jaro AS, with Consto acting as the main contractor. Developed by FK Bodø Glimt, the approximately 10,000-seat multi-purpose stadium is designed for football and events.

The Arctic Arena is one of the northernmost stadium projects in Europe and a significant investment for the Bodø region. The venue is intended for year-round activity and will serve sports and other events.

Nordec’s delivery covers the arena’s main load-bearing steel structures, including coordination of the steel frame solution and the primary steel structures supporting the roof, façade and spectator areas. Production is mainly carried out at Nordec factories, followed by coordinated assembly on-site in Bodø. Quality and safety management are integrated throughout all phases of the delivery. Environmental Product Declarations are available for the steel products supplied by Nordec, providing verified information on the environmental performance of the materials used.

“Nordec was a natural choice for us at Jaro AS when selecting the steel supplier for Arctic Arena. Their strong technical expertise and proven quality were decisive factors in our decision.

From the very start of the project, Nordec has demonstrated strong commitment and an impressive ability to collaborate. We are confident that this partnership will result in a final product of the highest standard, a project we can both be proud of.”

Ole Marius Thomassen, Managing Director, Jaro AS

The architectural concept features a diamond-inspired exterior with geometrically arranged roof and façade elements and flexible interior spaces designed to adapt to different types of events. The project is scheduled for completion in early autumn 2027.
