The Layher Event system is a construction kit that can be used to erect a wide variety of stages and stands.

The brand promise made by Layher is the expression of a brand philosophy that we have been living by for over 70 years. More speed, more safety, more proximity, more simplicity, and more future are values with which we strengthen our customers’ competitiveness in the long term. With our innovative systems and solutions, we are working all the time to make scaffolding construction even simpler, even more economical, and, above all, even safer.

The Layher Event systems can be chosen between different sizes, and the systems differ in terms of the ground plan (layout) and, in particular, in the design of the stands. Thanks to the removable plastic corners on the Event decks, you can construct practically all variants of desired stages and stands.

Layher stages
The width of the stage decks is a practical distinguishing feature and the basis for identifying the modules. The event decks up to 2.07 m and 2.57 m in length are designed to bear a load of 5 KN/m². The removable Plastic corners ensure that the vertical tubes can pass through platform level if required. The coated plywood board is braced with aluminium rungs.

Application Layher Allround and event stage for Mahamastakabhisheka
Installation of scaffolding and temporary platform for Mahamasthakabhisheka-2018 at Shravanabelagola, Hassan District. Mahamastakabhisheka – 2018, the head anointing ceremony is performed once every 12 years to the 57-foot-tall monolithic statue of Lord Bahubali at Shravanabelagola. It was built circa 981 A.D. and is one of the largest free-standing statues in the world.

Shravanabelagola, nestled by the Vindhyagiri and Chandragiri Hills, protected by the monolith Bhagwan Bahubali, and home to over 2,300 years of Jain heritage, is a veritable picture postcard of our history and heritage spanning the centuries. In the town of Shravanabelagola, stands a colossal rock-cut statue of Lord Gommateshwar Shri Bahubali.

Allround Scaffolding structure behind Bahubali for Mahabhisheka
The main Structure for Mahamastakabhisheka is constructed just behind Lord Bahubali on top of Vindhyagiri Hill. The main scaffolding structures are used by devotees/pilgrims in Mahabhisheka. The Approx. 400 Sq. The Mtr area is considered for constructing a scaffolding structure with two platforms at shoulder and head levels. The shoulder levels are connected to two cantilevers on the left and right sides of the statue to make Mahabhisheka from both sides. The Head levels have a cantilever just above the head levels to Mahabhisheka head levels. The maximum number of devotees/Pilgrims have made Mahabhisheka from Head level. The design of the heavy-duty cantilever was considered to bear a heavy load during Mahabhisheka. The existing floor area is a double-story monolithic structure supported by a stone Beam and a slab resting on a column. The bottom main existing monolithic structure is also supported with scaffolding to provide additional stability to the existing structure during Mahabhisheka. The total height of the Scaffold Structure is Approx. 21.2 mtr from Ground level. It is unsupported by the existing structure.

The Façade of the main structure is made of Aluminium, and beautiful symbols in different colours enhance the beauty of the statue.

The main structure behind the statue is well designed to bear the bearing capacity of an umbrella resting on the top of the scaffold, devotees/Pilgrims, and other live and dead weights coming on the structure. The design considers additional load against horizontal force and wind force.

Layher scaffolding is used to construct a lift for devotees/pilgrims to reach up to the top shoulder and head level.  An additional scaffold structure is constructed to support two lifts, thanks to the Allround Scaffold for supporting the lift against wind force and horizontal force coming on the structure at the top of the hill. The capacity of the lift is 1 ton. These transport materials used for Mahabhisheka and devotees/Pilgrims up to the top of Head levels.

The main structure is connected with two 16-standard/leg stair towers 500 for access to the main scaffold structure for Mahabhisheka. The stair tower width was 1.57 mtr, with landings at every 2.0 mtr height and proper fall-preventing systems. One stair tower is used for entrance and another for exit devotees/Pilgrims during Mahabhisheka. The load-bearing capacity of the Stair tower is also designed to bear 5 KN/m².

The event deck is used to construct the platform at shoulder and Head levels. It has been well designed to bear are designed to bear 5 KN/m² for devotees/Pilgrims and storage of materials for Mahabhisheka.  The special design of the cantilever on both levels can bear more than 5 KN/m². The substructure of the Layher Event systems is created from Layher Allround scaffolding. The event transom of an aluminium section with connecting wedge heads of galvanised steel holds the Event decks. The clamping lock of spring steel connects the Event deck to the Event transom and acts as a lock against lift-off. All safety measures are considered for fall protection of devotees/Pilgrims during Mahabhisheka. Thanks to the structure designed for heavy load bearing capacity and successfully supported against heavy crowd gathered during Mahabhisheka – 2018.
