Located in the heart of Villaviciosa de Odón, the ESC La Liga & NBA pavilion stands out for its advanced integration of technology in the design of sports and entertainment spaces.
This article focuses on how LITEC trusses and EXE motors, provided by SeeSound, have been key in providing flexibility, security, and functionality, elevating the event experience to the intensity and excitement level characteristic of NBA games.
CUMA: design and installation
CUMA, the company responsible for the design and installation of the complex structure and rigging system, with over three decades of experience, has established itself as a benchmark of innovation and quality, supported by a highly qualified team and an unwavering commitment to the continuous modernization of its processes. The company has not only responded to changes in market demand with advanced and customized solutions but has also maintained a legacy of values such as honesty, integrity, and seriousness, ensuring customer satisfaction in every project.
Security and reliability in design
Facing unique design and functionality challenges, the ESC La Liga & NBA pavilion needed a solution that guaranteed not only versatility to adapt to various types of events but also maximum security. LITEC trusses and EXE motors were selected for their reputation for reliability and ability to meet the strictest safety standards.
Products used and their technical characteristics:
The design and implementation of this project involved a range of specific LITEC and EXE products, selected for their quality, reliability, and ability to meet the demands of the pavilion.
EXE motors:
- EXE LT XRH2D100D8+: Motors with a loading capacity of 1000Kg, gear ratio of 8:1, dual brake for additional safety, and 8 x 24mm chain. Its 1 Kw power and direct control allow precise and reliable movements.
- EXE LT XRH2D050D8+: 500Kg motors, also with dual brake and an 8:1 gear ratio, using a lighter 6 x 18mm chain and 0.8 Kw power, ideal for medium loads with precision positioning requirements.
Galvanized steel chains:
- EXE LT XRC0824-01M and LT XRC0618-01M: 24-meter and 108-meter chains, respectively, designed to support the specific loads of the motors, ensuring safe and durable operation.
EXE drive controllers:
- EXE Drive LT XDRH16C: A 16-channel digital controller that allows direct and precise management of multiple motors, facilitating the setup and operation of complex rigging configurations.
LITEC trusses:
- LT QH30SA: QH30 square trusses available in lengths of 100 cm, 250 cm, 350 cm, and 400 cm, providing the necessary flexibility to adapt to various designs and loads. The robustness of these trusses ensures safety and adequate support for lighting, sound, and other scenic elements.
- LT C030 and LT QU30K8: Truss supports and junctions that facilitate the connection and distribution of loads, ensuring a cohesive and sturdy structure.
- LITEC - QH30SAC-01: Curved trusses that add an aesthetic and functional dimension to the design, allowing the creation of shapes and lines that enhance the visual experience.
Collaboration and expertise in design
The successful implementation of these components was the result of close collaboration between engineers, sound technicians, lighting designers, and the SeeSound team. The careful selection of trusses and motors, tailored to the specific needs of the pavilion, reflects the high level of technical knowledge and creativity of all professionals involved.
Results and conclusions
The integration of LITEC trusses and EXE motors in the ESC La Liga & NBA pavilion has set a new standard in the execution of sports and entertainment events. These systems have not only improved the functionality and security of the space but have also provided operational flexibility that allows the pavilion to quickly adapt to different types of events.
