WasaCon was selected in 2023 to carry out the renovation and extension of the Kiuaskallio sports hall in Kurikka. The first phase of the technical KVR contract has been completed well ahead of schedule and the facilities have been handed over to the client.
The construction work started in March 2023 with the demolition of existing buildings, the replacement of the old domed hall's drainage and splash guards and the strengthening of the foundations. The design of the extension was started immediately after the contract was signed and earthworks started at the end of April 2023.
Renovation work on the old domed hall had to be halted in June 2023, but plans were revised when the building inspectorate announced that after reinforcements, the dome's glue-laminated arches should be able to withstand the loads required today.
The original plan was to renovate the domed hall and the gateway, but it was decided to demolish them because it would have been much more expensive to repair them than to rebuild. In addition, the decision was taken taking into account that there are always risks involved in renovating the old.
The extension, which included the construction of a gym and a weight room, as well as sauna, washing, toilet and changing room facilities with cleaning and technical facilities for the future swimming pool, was completed as planned. The total area of the extension is approximately 1 350 m2. The extension was handed over to the client on 15 February 2024.
