To develop a semi-permanent hoarding solution that met specific requirements including crowd loading, specialist pre-finishing aesthetics; with high safety demands for robustness together with vehicular and operative access including means of escape.

Additional Loading
(To standard wind-loading) challenges were encountered requiring redesign and calculations to ensure the 2.5m high hoardings could absorb side impact as may be experienced due to the perimeter being adjacent to a major thoroughfare for general public and football fans to and from the London Stadium. This was achieved by decreasing the vertical spacing of the horizontal ledgers and centre spacings of Anchorblocs not viable with other in-calculable products and their inherent lack of interconnectivity.

Project Duration (>2yrs)
Dictated what would normally be a temporary structure was classified as permanent, and as such heightened the performance criteria; which the Anchorbloc standard easily satisfied.

Specific Colour Finishing Demands
Self-finished maintenance free product provided direct to site not only met the high-quality aesthetics (‘Traffic Black’ RAL 9017 monolithic finish); but also avoided the need for any additional expenditure and time with on-site application; typical of other general product systems.

Project Phasing Adaptability
Future proofing site considerations were required to meet upcoming project phases; enabling re-alignments to take place without waste or additional bespoke components.
