The Proposal
To create a six tier choir riser accommodating 480 members Some Voices Choir for BBC Friday Night is Music Night’s live broadcast from Troxy. The riser had to take up the minimum amount of floor space to allow for the BBC Concert Orchestra on the main floor of the venue. Additionally to create depth and stereo image the riser had to feature two return “wings”, and elevate the choir above the orchestra.

The Outcome
Using accurate 3d CAD plans of the venue, we devised created a totally unique structure, advised on the appropriate egress requirements, performed load calculations, both for the stage deck system and for the venue floor. Using Prolyte LiteDeck and a team of 8 stage builders, the structure was installed in under 8 hours. ZEROdB Live supplied “babysitters” to monitor the structure during use.
