Airshow's new structure puts De Boer in the 'Premier' league
Visitors to this summer’s
Farnborough International Airshow are to get the UK’s first-ever glimpse of the
latest generation of temporary structures – De Boer’s stunningly versatile
‘Premier’.
The
new double-decker product offers outstanding flexibility for users, with the
ability to add modular sections up to a total width of 20 metres and a
potentially unlimited length. Other features include transparent side panels, a
choice of internal or external staircases plus optional balconies with tinted
glass “fencing” to allow unobstructed views.
But
one of the most innovative elements of the multifunctional Premier is the
ability to place a range of De Boer’s other structures on top – offering an unprecedented choice of configurations for
users.
The
new product can be combined with a large number of different structures,
ranging from compact Pyramids and Chalets to De Boer’s Alu Halls and Alu Vista.
The versatility of the Premier means that no fewer than four of the structures have
already been reserved for use during the Farnborough International Airshow.
Peter
Spruce, Managing Director of De Boer Structures (UK) Ltd, said: “One of De
Boer’s many strengths is its commitment to researching and developing innovative
new products, even in the face of the current challenging economic market.
“The
Premier is a further exciting addition to our event and exhibition product
portfolio, offering tremendous versatility and choice for customers. The early
interest from the Farnborough International Airshow suggests this is going to
be another highly popular structure.”
The
Premier, which is erected in modules measuring five metres by five metres, will
form part of De Boer’s ‘
structures, each of which features bold, horizontal panoramic panels. The range
already includes highly popular products such as De Boer’s Emperor, Panorama
Dome and Delta Emperor.
The
new structure’s appearance at Farnborough will further boost Brackley-based De
Boer’s work at the prestigious biennial event. Construction work is already
well under way to create a huge temporary exhibition venue measuring 90,000
square metres – enough space to accommodate
than 30 times!
The
assignment – involving deliveries by more than 200 articulated lorries – will ultimately
create four huge exhibition halls together with a vast array of corporate
hospitality suites, business chalets, public dining areas and a media centre
for the 2010 airshow, which takes place between July 19 and 25.
Farnborough
International Airshow is one of the world's most iconic aviation events. The
first five days of the show are traditionally trade days only, followed by a
weekend where the exhibition is opened to the public. FIA 2008 was a
record-breaking year for business with US$88.7 billion worth of orders
announced during the show which also featured 165 aircraft in static displays
and spectacular flying displays. The public weekend attracted a staggering
153,000 visitors.
