Curling Rink Construction and Renovation

Ice, air and building together

A curling rink needs a controlled environment. Ice quality depends on air temperature, humidity and radiant heat from the ceiling and lights. Poor control leads to fog, drip and uneven ice.

Our mechanical crew installs HVAC and plumbing, and our in-house engineering team coordinates with refrigeration specialists. Dehumidification and ceiling insulation are common upgrades that pay off in ice quality and operating cost.

Lighting and electrical

Good curling light is even and low in glare. Older clubs often have uneven lighting and aging panels. Our electrical crew, led by a Master Electrician, upgrades service, distribution and fixtures as one job.

Scoreboards, sound and security can be added at the same time using low voltage systems from our own team.

Clubhouse and lounge

Much of a curling club's life happens off the ice. Lounges, bars, kitchens, viewing areas and meeting rooms are often as important as the sheets. Our carpenters and millwork team build bars, trophy displays and seating, and our interior crew finishes the walls and ceilings.

Liquor service, food service and capacity requirements can influence layout, so we raise them early with the owner.

Working around the season

Curling seasons are fixed. Work is usually done in spring and summer, with ice-in the deadline that cannot slip. We build a schedule backward from that date, allow for lead times on equipment, and include contingency for Alberta weather on any exterior or roofing work.

Many clubs are volunteer-run and rely on grants or member fundraising. We help break scope into phases so the club can build what it can afford first.

Support after opening

Once the ice is in, a club needs fast answers if anything goes wrong. Our team answers calls and email 24/7/365, and the crews who built the work know how it was put together.
