Construction Period 06/2012 - 07/2012
In front of the renowned Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, a grid structure
had to be built for a video screen of 65 m² and sound systems for the
main stage of the fan park / public viewing area for UEFA Euro 2012 and
FIFA World Cup 2014.
Technical Data:
Dimension: W × T × H ≤ 25.9 m × 10.9 m × 14.6 m
System: Stageco trussing ’Meilenstein’ with Prolyte aluminium trusses
Load capacity:
Video screen (W × H = 10.75 m × 6.05 m): 8.00 to
Sound and light systems: 10.0 to
For this project the structure has been modelled in detail, including every
beam and member of the trusses. In total more than 5,000 members
and 6 load cases with their non-linear combinations had to be calculated
and designed. Some special characteristics have been the pressure only
supports (no fixing with the building ground), the cables with tension only
and stiffening plates as 2D elements inside the crossovers.
