DS100
|
On arrival there must be adequate access to the venues gateway from the road for an articulated vehicle. If necessary, the event organiser shall provide personnel to control traffic/general public during this manoeuvre. Both outside and within the venue our vehicles need a minimum clearance of 4.3m height and 2.8m width for access to the designated Stage Area. Therefore any trees, overhead structures or cables should be taken into consideration. Any weight limits within the venue that are likely to be encountered, especially bridges or manhole covers, need to be sufficient for the 26 tonne max weight of the DS100. This is evenly distributed between four axles and is comprised of 20 tonne for the stage and 6 tonne for the tractor unit. The presence of any steep slopes within the venue that have to be traversed on route to the Stage Area, or any that are within the Stage Area itself must be discussed with Daytona prior to the event. If either party has any reservations a site visit may have to be carried out. |
The area where the stage is to be erected must be enclosed by security barriers, and or security personnel to provide a safe working area before and after the event. The minimum floor space required for the DS100 is 17m x 11m with PA Wings and 7m of headroom. Extra space will be required backstage if the optional marquees are used, and extra space to front of stage if Pit Barriers are used. Note: These measurements are for the stage only. There also has to be provision made for the tractor unit that pulls the stage. This will need room to manoeuvre the stage into position and then un-hitch. The versatility of the DS100 is such that it can be erected on a variety of surfaces including grass, however, if the ground is too soft, the tractor unit will be at risk of bogging down while towing the stage into position. In such circumstances it is at the discretion of the driver as to whether or not to drive onto the grass. If the decision is made to go ahead, it is the responsibility of the organiser to provide any towing/tracking aides as necessary both on arrival and at time of departure. |
