He who sows the wind...
„He who sows the wind“ – is the title of a report by the international m+a magazine for world wide trade fairs which deals with an important topic: the ever increasing requirements for the safety of guests and clients in temporary buildings at events.
Noticeable effects of global climate changes are already obvious today and in future we will have to anticipate more extreme weather such as heavy rain, summer storms and other strong wind incidents.
The m+a report informs about the activities of leading European tent manufacturers dealing with safety issues. Companies such as de Boer, Neptunus or Losberger are actively concerned with the upcoming division of European countries in different wind zones and also with the increasing need for concrete information dealing with the wind effects with tents standing very close to each other.
For this special information m+a also cites LB engineering who have taken a closer look at the wind forces which the ZENDOME is subject to.
What becomes explicitly clear in this discussion is the fact that all these safety issues are becoming ever more important for event managers and organisers even during the planning phase. The requirements for testable quality and safety for temporary buildings during extreme weather are constantly increasing.
That is why ZENDOME has set its focus on detailed solutions Made in Germany right from the start in order to ensure a maximum of safety.
