As Ireland faces increasing challenges from climate change, including more frequent and severe storms, it is essential to invest in durable sports facilities. Last year, strong winds caused significant damage, with the destruction of sports domes in Castlebar and Galway serving as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of current structures. At Dolan PCI, we recognize the urgency of this issue and have partnered with the innovative Norwegian company Hallgruppen. Together, with their advanced engineering department, we are committed to designing robust padel buildings tailored to withstand Ireland's changing weather patterns. These structures will be built quickly, ensuring that sports enthusiasts across Ireland can continue to enjoy playing padel in safe and secure environments, regardless of the weather.
In January 2025, HallGruppen and Dolan PCI will proudly announce the opening of our flagship Indoor Padel Center in Dublin West. This state-of-the-art facility will showcase premium features, setting a new standard in Ireland for the first high-quality indoor padel infrastructure.
Resilient Padel Sports Facilities for the Future
Hallgruppen’s padel sporting structures have a self-supporting steel design made for a long life – up to 50 years. The steel frame is designed to be clad with simple fabric or insulated fabric in different thicknesses with a service life of up to 20 years.
An insulated padel sporting structure not only keeps you warm in winter, but also cool in summer!

Hallgruppen’s designs are all CE approved and meet all required load-bearing construction standards. The fabric is adapted to the size of the hall along with any access passageways. The steel frame is designed to take into account the geographical location, including:
