Installation Questions

Q : What if there is no earth embankment at the proposed seating location ?
A : If the terrain suits, we would propose to import suitable fill material to create an earth embankment. The fill required would be contained or held in place against a design approved retaining wall system.

Alternatively : Again if the terrain suits, the option to excavate or cut out material to create the required embankment profile.

Q : Can the Gladiator Seating System go around curves ?
i.e athletics tracks, cricket ovals, curved stadiums, amphitheatres, motor sports race tracks…..
A : Yes it can. Because the Gladiator Seating System is a modular (each block module being 225mm wide) , a change in direction to create curvature is formed preferably through an aisle section. The change in direction is created by simply cutting through the step - aisle blocks at the desired curvature or deflection angle. Each change in direction in turn creates a seating segment of the desired curvature.

Q :Are the blocks fixed, mortared or glued onto the base slab?
A : No. The blocks simply sit on the finished base slab. Their own weight and gravity hold them down. A designed toe or upstand at the base of the embankment slab stops any potential creep (block movement) down the slab.

Q : How long does it take to construct a straight forward seating layout ?
A : If the desired seating location has an existing embankment which is geotechnically approved, then 300 seats including aisles can be fully installed within a week by three experienced workmen.

Previous seating installation example: Gladiator Seating successfully installed 3000 seats in 28 days. On time and within budget.
