Fabrication and installation of a metal frame for a summer theatre with complex geometry.
Four-column support system, trusses with a 36 m span.
Task
The Rakushka summer theatre in Gagarin Park, Zhytomyr — an open stage under a curved canopy resting on only four columns. A 100 t steel frame had to be fabricated and erected so that the trusses spanned 36 m with no intermediate supports above the stage and the audience, and the roof followed the given geometry. The work was carried out in an operating city park that remained open to visitors.
Solution
We produced shop drawings for every element of the frame: for curved trusses and roofing this ensures that the parts are assembled on site without fitting. The 36 m trusses, columns and roof elements were fabricated at our own facility in Zhytomyr, delivered to the park in sections and pre-assembled on site into larger blocks. Erection was carried out by our own crews: the blocks were lifted by crane and fixed to the four columns, which limited crane operation in the park to the duration of the lifts. Complexity class 3 and hazard category 5 required separate schemes both for the finished structure and for each lifting stage.
