Black Sea Arena uses Prolyte for technical installation

The Black Sea Arena in Georgia has officially opened its doors on July 10th 2016, with a special opening show. A broad array of Prolyte products was used to install this event facility. The auditorium has a capacity of 10,000 seats circular grand-stands. Visitor lounges, VIP areas, four cinemas, auxiliary areas and technical rooms are arranged below these. The Arena is constructed with an open roof; 25 m above ground level, a retractable membrane glides over the entire auditorium where the circumstances require so.

Lithuanian based system integrator, Scenos Techninis Servisas, was asked to provide the turn-key installation of light, LED screens, sound and stage structures, comprising of over 30 tonne of equipment in total. For this installation, Prolyte, L-Acoustics and Robe were selected as main suppliers.

The event stage floor, spanning over 930 square metre, is created from Prolyte StageDex, using a combination of standard TopLine decks and the EasyFrame C support structure. The main stage of 26 x 24 metres is complemented with a catwalk of 2 x 22 metres, both supported with the EasyFrame C. A circular stage of 6 m diameter on telescopic legs completes the staging. The crew of Scenos Techninis Servisas built the floor in under 8 hours. The universal structure can be built in several set-ups, as stage floor, platform or as grandstand.

Above the stage a couple of 30 metre spans of S66 truss, suspended on thirty-two 2 tonne ProLyft hoists, act as main grid. This main grid is pre-installed with all cabling for the show systems, like power and signal cables. It can be lowered to the stage floor to provide access to set up or change the show elements.

Several other truss types, like the H30V, H40V, S36V and S52SV trusses can be used to make several stage set-ups. Two circular trusses and two special triangles will give various options to create stage designs. Using a box corner system will give the arena technicians the freedom to create several truss designs without the need for extra corner types.

To support the trusses, nearly 100 ProLyft Aetos hoists were installed, with either 1000 kg or 2000 kg loading capacity. To complete the rigging system, a special interface was built to be able to control all 99 channels in one go. Linking to the 8 units 12-way Aetos Pro controllers, a ProLyft Aetos Piccolo touch screen control offers full control of all the hoists in the Arena. Completing the installation is a crowd control system, based on the Prolyte Barriers, which offer different set-up possibilities.
