In 2010, the city of Vancouver saw its domed stadium, BC Place, undergo a unique transformation \u2013 a renovation would take it from a dome to an open air stadium. Included in the renovation project was the installation of an elaborate, first-of-its-kind stadium reduction system. The stadium has a total capacity of 55,000 seats, but for smaller events the upper deck is not required.<\/p>\n

Enter Thern.<\/p>\n

Thern built 54 custom roll drop winches that are installed at the bottom of the upper deck and circle field. They are all tied into a central remote control system and are used to deploy and retrieve large fabric drapes, that when deployed create a false roof for the stadium, making it appear smaller when desired. It\u2019s a cutting edge system\u2026 made possible by Thern.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
