How to design an easily removable structure allowing for artists to safely practice high dive maneuvers?
THE CHALLENGE:
Designing a large-scale structure that is easy to install and remove, foldable for storage, and able to safely support several divers.
THE SOLUTION:
- Define the critical loading scenarios involved during a dive;
- Develop 3D model of the structure based on preliminary drawings provides;
- Validate the structural integrity of the practice tower including base metal, welds, clamps, fasteners, etc.;
- Apply design modifications to improve the safety of the equipment;
- Assess overturning risks and issue recommendations to avoid the problem;
- Define maximum loads transmitted to the floor below the structure;
- Provide maintenance recommendations;
- Provide 2D drawings for manufacturing;
- Provide an engineering report for certification.
THE RESULTS :
- Artist safety provided;
- Minimized setup-time of the structure;
- Timeline respected.
