How do We Prepare for an Ed Sheeran Concert
Heavy duty flooring was required to accommodate heavy vehicular activity to set up for the event. Temporary roadways were needed for installation of staging and delay towers. The temporary flooring solution provided was I-Trac.
I-Trac is a temporary portable roadway and is a revolution for heavy vehicle pathways. It provides a quick and easy solution to those one-off or short-term roadway requirements, enabling venues to create an instant temporary portable roadway. It is a single component heavy duty access solution. I-Trac is a composite interlocking roadway system that creates a contiguous surface capable of dealing with all road-going vehicles and extreme static loadings.
I-Trac is an entirely manually deployed temporary access portable roadway system and is secured by an inbuilt connection device that requires no special tools to operate. Each panel has 8 attachment points that enable the user to bolt on accessories where needed. Inert to most chemicals, I-Trac also offers a safe level of electrical insulation.
