Ice Rinks

BACKGROUND

Stevens specializes in the planning, consultation, design, and construction observation of new ice rink facilities as well as the evaluation and renovation of existing facilities. The ice system is the heart of every ice rink facility and plays a key role in determining the economic and social success facility. The initial cost of installation for these systems can be as high as 15% of the total construction cost of the facility and can use 50% or more of the facilities total energy use. Generally, the ice system includes the ice rink floor(s), the refrigeration system(s), the dasher board system(s), and the waste heat recovery system(s). It is important that these systems be specially designed for the facility and installed properly to maximize efficiency and performance. Stevens has experienced professional staff to provide the specialized design and construction administration necessary for these systems. We educate and assisting owner's groups, facility managers, architects and other interested groups in making decisions and designing systems that will maximize the performance and longevity of the ice system and minimize energy and operational costs.
