Exhibition Stage

KB² were asked by Design Rock to advise on the structural design of exhibition stands for New York and London. The stands were constructed from timber joists to support and display the Consertainer® quick construction system, illustrating its ease of use in UK and US military applications.

KB² assessed the design’s structural capabilities, designing the appropriate connectors for maximum stability in freestanding structures. The result was a bespoke, highend design using bolted connections to enable ease of reuse, and maximising public safety.

Dan Newman-Turner of Design Rocks commented, “It was rock solid and performed perfectly. With such a demand, not only in terms of weight support but also swelling crowds of people it was a relief to know that the structure was fully calculated and engineered to a level well beyond its actual use.”
