Neptunus Northamptonshire-based temporary structure company Neptunus supplied structures to the Unibet EuroHockey Championship, in London in August.

The company had five days to deliver and build 10 truckloads of its equipment at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Working on behalf of client ICON, Neptunus supplied host England Hockey with 2,460 sq m (26,479 sq ft) of structures including a number of its clear-span Alu-halls to form the Main Entrance, Players, Friends and Family Clubhouse and Museum, Main Retail Area and Public Catering Structures.

Founded in 1970 by the European Hockey Federation to showcase the best eight field hockey teams, the Unibet EuroHockey Championship featured 40 matches.

Elsewhere, an innovative curved roofed Alure Globe structure by Neptunus formed a VIP Pavilion and a number of its smaller and stylish Mercury structures formed ticket check-ins, retail outlets and information points across the park for the 30,000 spectators.

To help protect the landscape of the Olympic Park, all of the structures were self-weighted with concrete floors with some featuring bespoke entrance ramps, staircases and carpeting.

April Trasler, managing director of Neptunus UK, said: “As the structures were situated at various locations across the park, our technical team meticulously planned the delivery and build to ensure our onsite crew of 12 could complete the venue in just five days.”
