🏟️ Ensuring Safety with Temporary Stands for the Upcoming French Olympics 🛠️ As we prepare for the French Olympics, building temporary stands requires precise engineering and rigorous inspections. Here’s how we ensure safety and reliability: Load Calculations: - Static Load: Supports the weight of all spectators and the structure. - Dynamic Load: Accounts for movement and impact forces. - Environmental Load: Consider wind and snow pressures. Safety Features: - Handrails & Guardrails: Prevent falls. - Non-Slip Surfaces: Reduce slipping risks. - Emergency Exits: Ensure quick evacuation. - Fire Safety: Fire-resistant materials and equipment. - Accessibility: Ramps and designated seating. Support Components: - Structural Frames: Strong vertical and horizontal supports. - Decking: Robust materials securely fastened. - Connectors & Fasteners: High-strength bolts and specialised connectors. - Footings & Anchors: Ground anchors and weighting systems for stability. Inspections: - Pre-construction, during construction, post-construction, and ongoing checks ensure safety at every stage. As we get ready to welcome athletes and spectators from around the world, temporary stands are engineered for safety and reliability, ensuring everyone can enjoy the events with peace of mind.
