Temporary structures are increasingly being recognised for their ability to significantly reduce the carbon footprint left after major sporting events - as seen at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver in February.

As the official supplier to The Netherlands Olympic Committee, Neptunus Structures installed a highly durable Alure structure fitted with training equipment, which enabled the Dutch athletes to maintain their training schedules during the Games.

The Alure was designed using modern recyclable components fitted with insulated wall panels and a rigid insulated roof, rather than a fabric option, which dramatically reduced running costs and emissions.
