Project to install a ‘temporary’ Sports Hall- a case study by Bees Marquees & Structures

This particular sports hall available from March 2015! Rental or purchase - 1 careful owner, only 2 years old!

Viewings available by appointment;

highly competitive deal waiting to be negotiated!

The need: a school sports hall, built 45 years ago and designed for a 30 year lifespan began to deteriorate. Plans were made to replace it with a new building but whilst planning permission (and funding) was still being considered, the building was deemed no longer safe for use. Our project to provide a temporary sports hall in the meantime was commissioned, with upto 2 years’ usage in mind … although there are similar structures installed elsewhere for 10 times that, so these structures are only as ‘temporary’ if you wish them to be! Many call them ‘permanent temporary’!

Visits to and discussions with the school considered the various possibilities for a site and chose the most suitable & feasible based on a range of factors, also considering the needs of the local community and likely viewpoint of the town planners

A number of designs were considered, including an A-frame roof ‘marquee like’ and a polygon roof structure

Grass remains outside of the structure’s footprint & area of plinths

Whole 20m x 35m area under structure (excluding the sunken

concrete plinths to support legs) is filled in with 20 tonnes of

compacted Hoggin, to approx 4" deep

A very brief pictorial summary of the installation process, including some choicesGroundworks: first kill the grass, install sunken concrete plinths to support legs, a DPM and shallow area of hoggin, scree or concrete dust base

The floor above is rolled out

and welded down but the

floor on the left is made

from tiles; it costs more but

could be removed and

installed in your new

building

Doors, partition walls, changing rooms, lighting, heating, dehumidifiers…

Our CAD tool was useful in supporting the funding and planning application stage by letting us show an impression of the project from initial space, through construction to finished item

CAD impression of the outside of the finished sports hall (next 7 pages)

(at this stage the plan was to create in these colours, but in the end they chose white)

A quick roundup of some other sports halls, timber-framed included

“Thermo” roof

It’s not just sports halls we install as “permanent temporary” structures; here’s a function / hospitality / conference suite for a hotel

The combination of features give this “marquee” the feel of a built venue; a quiet and very well insulated interior (perfect for conferences) on a firm, sturdy floor… and all installed preserving the protected trees!
