Jubilee Celebrations, London
Product: Projections and searchlights
Supplier: EMF Technology, 020 8003 3344, info@emftechnology.co.uk, www.emftechnology.co.uk
Details: EMF was proud to be involved supplying video projection mapping services for the Queens 70th Jubilee weekend. The company was contracted to supply large scale technical video projections and searchlights across the façade of Royal Horse Guards Parade, London
Using three, 30,000 lumens Christie projectors, EMF created blended video mapped projections across the façade of Royal Horse Guard Parade. Nine high powered searchlights were also used to complement the Jubilee events at Horse Guard Parade and Buckingham Palace.
The artwork was created in-house by EMF’s content producers to the clients requirements.
Due to the sensitive nature of the locations, all equipment had to be placed within a high security area, which created a few challenges, but luckily the team is experienced at
challenging and innovative events.

Coombe Abbey, Warwickshire
Product: IMA 150 indirect oil fired heater for the main marquee and an IMA 61 heater for the marquee extension
Supplier: Thermobile, 02476 357960, www.thermobile.co.uk
Details: Coombe Abbey’s large semi-permanent marquee from Umbravilia Marquees has a seating capacity of 500 and, at 45x15m (plus extension), requires some thought as to how to heat. Following a consultation with the venue owners, Thermobile recommended overhead heat blown in through a clear PVC duct, which prevented hot spots and provided the circulation of warm air. Exit holes were positioned in the duct to direct the hot air evenly around the large structure.
The indirect oil fired heaters selected for both the main marquee and the extension offered efficient use of fuel with consumption of 14.8 litres per hour and 6.5 litres per hour respectively.
Customer Feedback: “We have worked with Thermobile for 15 years so were very confident in taking advice from them for heating this area. The structure is in use 52 weeks of the year so it is important guests are comfortable throughout the colder months. The heaters have been reliable with excellent digital information to monitor output air temperature, and technical advice is readily available and much appreciated.”
Drive-through Cinema, Beaconsfield
Product: 1,208 Euromats
Supplier: All Weather Access, 01371 700510, info@all-weatheraccess.co.uk, www.all-weatheraccess.co.uk
Details: The popularity for drive-through cinema has soared in recent months, with products from All Weather Access proving popular among organisers. All Weather Access’s temporary roadway is part of the basic infrastructure required for such events, enabling cars to traverse the grass fields such events are invariably located in.
All Weather Access was contacted by an events company regarding a specific site in Beaconsfield – a grass field by a motorway. Operations manager, Dudley, attended the site and assisted with the creation of a workable layout and plan for the enormous cinema ensuring safe vehicle flow in and out and avoiding anyone getting stuck.
The client decided on medium duty Euromats. This gave a cost saving over the alternative Tufftrak roadway and was more than adequate for the traffic which would be cars rather than heavier vehicles. Euromats can also be moved by hand if required, allowing for last minute alterations if necessary.
The 1,208 Euromats were installed over two days and were left down for just over four weeks. This enabled the events company to squeeze in a staggering amount of evening film viewings, which really did help the financial viability of the project.
Feedback: The company were extremely pleased with the products All Weather Access supplied and the team’s work ethic and professionalism. They hope to use its services again in the future.

MHM Group’s innovative Street-Lite is a standalone, self-powered solar lighting tower, that is completely diesel and engine free. Developed to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption at events across the UK, the Street-Lite is very simple to use and easy to set up.
The lighting tower features an integrated AGM (absorbed glass mat) sealed-led battery and has no complicated wiring or fixings. The battery is charged via its high-efficiency solar panel which will operate in most weather conditions. Uniquely, the Street-Lite is fitted with an automatic movement sensor that dims the light when it detects no movement and increases light coverage when motion reappears, for safety and improved surveillance.
The Street-Lite’s batteries are charged via a 175kW solar panel and can run up to 13 hours in a single charge. The lighting tower has many of the attributes of a standard diesel-powered set, with the exception that it runs entirely from a combination of solar/battery power.
