Case Study
The 35th America’s Cup, Bermuda


This project required a hybrid of structures from both our Events and Structure Solutions divisions. Located right on an exposed waterfront, our temporary structures were subjected to strong winds and even the possibility of hurricanes, so we were tasked with designing and installing a solution that could stand being out to the test!

Structures provided: Hospitality Pavillion & Boatshed

When: 2017

Unique requirement: Ability to withstand very strong winds

We installed two very different structures for our client


The Hospitality Pavilion

This high-end 20m x 25m double deck structure housed numerous exciting areas including the 11th Hour Racing Exploration Zone which was an interactive visitor centre, and a hospitality zone. We worked with our client to ensure that we provided a premium yet welcoming environment for guests.

The wrap around decked balcony with recessed glazed handrails to the top floor provided fantastic views across the water and the opportunity to take in all of the exciting racing action!

 

The Boatshed

Much more industrial looking but standing tall and strong, the boatshed was constructed to house the Land Rover BAR race boat and shore team operations for the duration of the event.

This impressive, solid sided, steel structure has a crane built into the roof to allow the team to easily and safely manoeuvre the boat, and is able to withstand winds of over 100mph!

Our team worked hard to deliver this overseas project to an incredibly high standard fitting of this world class event.

 

Result


Our installs for the America’s Cup in Bermuda perfectly demonstrate both the skill and adaptability of our design and engineering teams, and the true quality of product that a Great British business can deliver to the other side of the world.
