New Arena Design & Construction
For over 40 years, Startec has been designing, engineering, and constructing new recreational ice plants, providing complete service solutions for hockey, curling, and skating rinks across Alberta.
We select equipment that delivers reliable performance with low operating and maintenance costs. Utilizing trend logging and industry experience, we engineer facilities for optimum energy efficiency. We design heat recovery systems that redeploy waste heat in a facility without over-inflating the capital budget.
Portable Ice Surfaces
Startec’s portable ice projects can reach Olympian heights. We installed, commissioned, and maintained the temporary ice surface and compression plant for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Calgary XV Olympic Winter Games at McMahon Stadium. We also designed a custom portable ice-skating rink for the annual Calgary Zoo event, Zoo Lights.
Modular Skid-Mounted Refrigeration Systems
We specialize in designing and servicing skid-mounted refrigeration systems that prioritize safety, efficiency, and future-proofing. Our collaborative process, involving engineers, managers, and field technicians, ensures our systems exceed industry standards and offer a lifespan of 25-30 years with proper maintenance. Designed for cost-effectiveness and ease of relocation, Startec’s refrigeration solutions are ideal for long-term reliability and performance.
Expert Technical Support
We diagnose and correct operational issues that arise in recreational ice systems including:
Startec’s Preventative Maintenance Agreements are a cost-effective way for you to maintain your facility, maximize operating reliability, and extend the service life of your equipment. Clients with agreements enjoy the benefits of a reduced service rate, and priority response status should any equipment malfunction.
During maintenance, we monitor critical systems, review any equipment performance concerns with operating and maintenance staff, perform routine maintenance, and provide recommendations on any safety or optimization issues.
