Partners — Venues & Large Projects

Surfaces that go in fast and come out clean

Show grounds, championship venues, and temporary stabling builds — installed to a deadline, used under scrutiny, and often removed afterwards.

Event work is a different problem from a barn. The install window is short, the surface is judged by people who are paid to notice, and much of it has to be lifted and stored afterwards. SoftStep interlocks rather than bonds, which is why it ends up on this kind of project.

How an event project runs

1
Scope and site

Areas, square footage, base condition, and the access window agreed against your build programme.

2
Logistics

Delivery, storage on site, and labour planned around the rest of the venue build.

3
Install

Laid to the agreed programme, with edge and transition detail where the public will see it.

4
Lift and store

Removed after the event, palletised, and stored for reuse where the arrangement calls for it.

Where this has been done

SoftStep flooring supported the Vancouver Olympics, and SoftStall systems have been installed in facilities used at the World Equestrian Games. Both were projects where the surface had to be right on a fixed date and hold up under continuous scrutiny.

Temporary stabling and show ground installations

Permanent venue stabling

Project names, dates, and permission to reference them by name require confirmation before publication.

Where this has been done

Temporary versus permanent

Interlocking pavers can be lifted, palletised, and reinstalled, which makes them suitable for annual events and touring builds. Permanent venue stabling is treated like any facility project — a single specification, phased if the calendar requires it.

Permanent stabling specified as a facility project

Mixed builds — permanent core, temporary overflow

Storage and refurbishment between events

Commercial and programme terms

Large projects are quoted as projects, with labour, logistics, and phasing priced in. Rental or reuse arrangements for temporary installations are discussed case by case.
