Constructing iconic buildings for sport

Constructing sports facilities and building sports centres requires a high degree of knowledge in technical solutions and materials, as they are very specific facilities governed by the regulations of each sport and can be used for training activities, competitions or general sports practice.

All these facilities can be presented in closed, semi-open or open enclosures. There are also very different construction typologies: construction of sports stands, construction of sports courts, construction of swimming pools, etc., so it is necessary to build infrastructures for a wide variety of needs, which usually have structures with large spans and heights In addition, the durability of the materials to be used in these installations is paramount, which is why knowledge of the materials, alternatives that may be available on the market and the latest innovations or trends in the sector, one of them being sustainable and recyclable materials, is of great importance.

The materials chosen and the sports construction techniques used will determine the conservation and maintenance needs of the sports facilities. This involves specialized maintenance that differs from the standard upkeep of buildings or public spaces, as sports facilities must remain fully prepared to host both training sessions and competitions at the highest level. The experience of companies specialized in the maintenance of sports infrastructure, such as Sando Conservación y Energía, plays a key role in ensuring the usability, performance, and efficiency of these facilities.

The current market trend is the construction and operation of sports centers in cities for all types of sports practice focused on the well-being of citizens, with pool and spa areas, and that bring sports closer to everyone. Furthermore, trends are looking for infrastructures with flexible and adaptable spaces for different sports, such as telescopic stands or retractable roofs, and efficient solutions for air conditioning, electricity, etc., to ensure the user’s comfort.
