Grandstands, Stadia and Arenas

When locations suddenly become viewing venues with a large amount of interested spectators, temporary grandstand systems make it possible to see what is happening. We analyze client requirements, research the circumstances, check the important parameters. Based on this, we construct exactly the right grandstand. Some examples include linear scaffolding grandstands with VIP and media boxes along a racetrack, seating-optimized grandstand systems with extended curves, integrated function rooms for cultural events or sitting grandstands with upholstered individual seats for a company anniversary.

The basic pattern is defined by a substructure made of our in-house developed system material. On it, the grandstand is constructed quickly and flexibly and tailored with regard to design, riser, row depth, seat width, seating system, and other variables.

Will the grandstand system be required for a few days, several years, or repeated assembly? Is the spectator infrastructure designed to the requirements of the organization in a highly specific manner? Or do you wish to rent a grandstand with standard options? In an early phase of the project, we work with you to analyze the economic benefits of the event structures and the financing. We offer options for:

• Rental
• Purchase
• Leasing

For determining suitable financing options, it is not only the use and design quality that play a decisive role, but also aspects such as warehousing, logistics, or personnel costs.

Situations that cause fans to start cheering may also result in a headache for the club representatives. For instance, when there is suddenly double the number of spectators at the home stadium than is usually expected. This may be due to a friendly game against an attractive opponent or even promotion to a higher league. Increasing the capacity of the existing stadium for a single match day, or for the next season, can be performed within a few weeks with careful planning and flexible construction systems. The project begins with the analysis of framework conditions and requirements. Depending on the client's needs, a wide range of services can be offered, including:

• Concept
• Detailed Planning
• Logistics
• Assembly
• Servicing and maintenance
• Dismantling
• Removal and restoration

The current trend towards flexibility and sustainability has already been perceptible in stadium construction. Modular arenas complement existing stadia as an interim solution — as in the case of a new stadium construction — or even replace them. Similarly, innovative concepts for event series, with changing locations, also use temporary arenas. Where functionality and safety are concerned, modular arenas are just as good as stadiums made of concrete. In fact, they offer more where cost-effectiveness is concerned. This is because they can easily be modified to suit changing requirements, without an expensive stadium renovation, while also being designed for long-term use. For example, when the sports arena arises out of thin air in the city, at the beach, or in the mountains, and disappears again just as quickly after the event. It is precisely this lightweight, temporary design that is responsible for the attractiveness of the stadium.

Some events require custom-designed grandstands. In this case, the question of roofing naturally arises. Spectators desire protection against excessive sun and rain. Organizers take care of the added value and comfort, while the NUSSLI project team ensures optimal lines of sight and complete safety under snow loads and in the face of updrafts. As stadium contractors, we plan and build the complete roofing of the entire stadium grandstand or partially covered sectors to your exact requirements. At the same time, we also ensure an unobstructed view of the event — with support-free roofing.
