Abba Arena Rainscreen

Abba Arena Rainscreen

7000M2 LARCH SCREEN

The ABBA Arena rainscreen is a demountable exterior timberscreen that envelops the hexagonal-plan Arena building constructed for the Abba Voyage show in London. Covering an area of over 7000 sqm, the screen consistsof 1400 finger-jointed larch fins with a total length of about 15km. It also incorporates an insect mesh, and is factory fire treated and stained with a pre grey accelerated aging oil to homogenise the timber as it ages naturally towards silver grey

Xylotek were responsible for the technical design of the screen, its fabrication and erection.

The larch was sourced from PiveteauBois, in elements up to 15m long, which were preassembled by Xylotek in Bristol into 204 independent panels, each optimised for road transport to site and for future relocation ofthe theatre.

A pair of assembly jigs were developed that allowed the varying splay angles for each panel to be accurately created, at the production rate required by the tight project programme.

The installation was carried out by Xylotek in winter 2021, requiring well-considered crane lift methods to raise the panels – especially those on the underslung parts of the screen.

The Arena, located in Stratford, London, hosts the virtual ABBA Voyage concerts, and is designed to be demountable for future relocation. Xylotek also carried out the production of the internal auditorium in cross laminated timber.
