For the STIHL Timbersports® World Trophy 2022 in front of Vienna City Hall, various temporary constructions were erected for the performance and transmission of the event, but also for the spectators. The well-known scaffolding constructions with corresponding floor elements formed the supporting structure. Particular attention was paid to the static calculation of the temporary scaffolding construction and the connection and operational loads of a ‘flying’ camera system between the studio and the scaffolding tower, which runs over the grandstand of the event.

For this purpose, two support ropes are attached to the construction with clamps and an additional guide rope allows the camera system to hover over the stage. The forces from the camera slide are superimposed with the usual loads on the construction, such as use and wind forces. For the connection on the 1st floor of the studio, a reinforcement had to be installed in the planned construction to be able to comply with the deformation limit values. The additional load on the tower (connection on the top level) also resulted in additional ballast to ensure stability.

We wish all athletes and the certainly enthusiastic event visitors a lot of fun at this spectacular event.
