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.

Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with NCC expressing their satisfaction with Nordec as their frame contractor.
