Elevated views for better events

We design and build temporary event structures including raised terraces and viewing platforms for festivals, sports, concerts, exhibitions and brand activations. Modular systems deliver fast builds, precise sightlines and a premium finish. Fully engineered and compliant for live events.

What we build

From compact risers to multi-level terraces, we deliver stable, level temporary platforms anywhere on site.

Typical event applications

  • VIP and sponsor hospitality terraces with branded fascias and tidy back-of-house

  • Audience viewing platforms with controlled access and stewarding routes

  • Accessible viewing platforms with compliant ramps and landings

  • Marquee sub-structures and raised floors for level surfaces on uneven ground

  • FOH and control risers, media and commentary platforms for broadcast and live production

  • Temporary bars, demo decks and retail pods as part of wider event structures

Systems we use

  • Layher Allround and event-grade modular scaffolding for speed and safety

  • Modular bay sizes and height increments for exact sightlines and capacity planning

Safety, design and compliance

Every structure is engineered for people-load and wind-load. You receive drawings, calculations and H&S documentation as standard. Designs meet current UK and EU standards with the correct handrails, toe-boards and edge protection specified for public events.

Access and inclusion

  • Accessible layouts with compliant ramp gradients and rest landings

  • Clear routes for crowd management, operations and emergency access

Finish and fit-out

  • Anti-slip decking for high footfall event zones

  • Branded fascias and hoardings to integrate with wider event branding

  • Options for weather protection where conditions demand it

Surfaces and sub-structures

Need a level floor on a rough or sloped site? We install ground-levelling platforms and raised floors in venues, marquees and outdoor spaces to create smooth, safe and comfortable guest areas.

How we deliver

  • Survey and design: Site visit, sightline study and engineering

  • Build: Rapid installation by qualified crews with clear RAMS

  • Finish: Cladding, trims and branding for a clean, premium look

  • Handover: Sign-off pack with drawings and inspection records

  • Dry hire: Palletised kit with drawings if you have your own crew

Proven on live events

Our teams deliver broadcast-grade platforms and viewing decks at pace. We coordinate with organisers, venue teams and security to hit tight windows and keep the site running smoothly.
