Steel frame installation for a new sports arena facility at Sätra idrottsplats in Stockholm

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 builds Swedish rail bridge for single-lift installation over an active main line

Rural landscape with a large railway bridge and road

Nordec Group Oy press release 21.05.2026 09.30

Nordec has been awarded a contract to manufacture and install a 52-metre steel truss railway bridge on the Western Main Line in Sweden. The bridge will be lifted into its final position in a single operation using a 750-tonne crawler crane during a night-time rail closure. The project forms part of the double track upgrade between Hallsberg and Degerön, delivered by main contractor Infrakraft on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration. 

The upgrade is intended to increase rail capacity and reduce constraints on freight movements along a heavily used corridor. The corridor supports long-distance and international goods transport, connecting industrial regions with ports and cross-border rail networks.

“The project places high demands on both the steel structures and project management. Nordec brings the necessary steel expertise and project capability for this type of work, with the organisational capacity to manage complex execution under tight operational constraints,” says Nijaz Mehmedovic, Project Manager at Infrakraft AB.

The all-steel structure will be assembled on site from sub-assemblies and loose components, then fully welded into a single unit prior to installation. The completed structure will then be lifted into its final position across the railway within the planned window. Executing a one-piece lift of a fully welded steel truss across an active main line requires detailed coordination of engineering, site planning and safety management.

Nordec’s scope covers installation engineering, manufacturing, surface treatment, on-site assembly and the final lift into position. Production started in autumn 2025, with site assembly and installation activities planned through 2026 and overall project completion expected in 2027.

“This project combines on-site assembly, full welding into a single unit and installation during a limited rail closure. Our role is to ensure that these phases are planned and executed as one coordinated sequence under strict time and site constraints,” says Aki Viiliäinen, Business Area Manager at Nordec.

Nordec to deliver steel structures for the redevelopment of Modo Hockey’s training centre in Sweden

Nordec Group Oy press release 16.12.2025 09.30 UTC+3

Modo Hockey’s training home and Örnsköldsvik’s sports infrastructure are being upgraded with a new Multisporthall and a modernised Modo Hall. Nordec will design, manufacture and install the steel frame for the new Multisporthall, while also renewing the roof structure of the adjacent Modo Hall training arena. The project is commissioned by the Municipality of Örnsköldsvik with REKAB as the main contractor. 

The new Multisporthall will provide nearly 6,500 m² of indoor space, seating for around 400 spectators, and a height of 12 metres. Built next to Modo Hall, it will form a combined complex of over 160 metres in length for year-round training, matches and competitions. Together, the facilities will strengthen training and competition opportunities in the region and continue to serve as the training home of Modo Hockey, one of Sweden’s long-standing top-league clubs. 

A central design element is the use of roof trusses spanning up to 45 metres, creating open indoor areas suitable for versatile sports use. Modo Hall will also be upgraded with a renewed roof structure, extending the lifespan of the existing arena and improving its functionality alongside the new Multisporthall. 

“This project brings together a new multi-purpose arena and the modernisation of an existing facility in a single delivery,” says Minna Kuusela-Opas, Senior Vice President, Multi-Storey, Nordec. “By working with REKAB and the Municipality of Örnsköldsvik, we are strengthening sports infrastructure that will serve both the local community and Modo Hockey for many years ahead.” 

Nordec’s scope covers structural design, production and installation. For the Multisporthall, this includes the complete steel frame, load-bearing roof sheets, hollow-core slabs and sandwich panels. For Modo Hall, Nordec will deliver new roof trusses and roof sheeting as part of the modernisation. 

Production is carried out at Nordec’s units in Finland and Poland. Work on Modo Hall began earlier this autumn, followed by the Multisporthall. Completion is scheduled for spring 2026.

Environmental performance 

Sustainability targets guided every stage of the work. A dedicated environmental plan sets requirements for ISO 14001 compliance, safe chemical management, carbon-footprint reporting, responsible waste handling, water protection and biodiversity measures. All site personnel received environmental training. The building itself is designed for high energy efficiency and has achieved BREEAM Excellent certification. 

“The Södertälje logistics centre required precise planning and demanding façade work, alongside strict environmental targets. Nordec managed the steel and façade package professionally and helped us stay on schedule while meeting the standards required for BREEAM Excellent certification,” says Tommy Allström, CEO, Tommy Allström Byggproduktion AB.

Traindepot in Hagalund, Sweden

Nordec to deliver frame and envelope for new train depot in Hagalund, Stockholm

Nordec Group Oy press release 13.3.2025 at 08.45

Nordec has been awarded a contract by NCC to design and build the frame and envelope structures for a new train depot in Hagalund, Stockholm. The depot, developed by Jernhusen as the property owner and investor, aims to enhance Sweden’s rail infrastructure and strengthen the region’s public transportation network.

This project represents a key milestone in modernizing Sweden’s rail infrastructure, and Nordec’s contribution includes the construction of a steel frame, prefabricated concrete slabs, walls, stairs, sandwich panel wall elements, and roof sheeting. NCC, responsible for the overall construction, will build a state-of-the-art train hall with vehicle lifts. Throughout the process, the existing depot and track area will remain operational, minimizing disruption for commuters and rail operators. 

In line with Nordec’s and NCC’s commitment to responsible construction practices, the project targets a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ certification. Special focus will be placed on material efficiency and minimizing environmental impact during construction. 

The modernized depot will boost rail efficiency and capacity in Stockholm while supporting Sweden’s goals for sustainable transport and reduced road traffic. Jernhusen’s long-term vision for the site is to create a modern, efficient depot that meets future transportation needs.  

Construction planning took place throughout autumn 2024, and assembly began just before Christmas. The project is set to be completed by December 2025.
