MAKE AN IMPACT
Our stadium effects are guaranteed to make a significant impact to any sporting event. We use only the highest quality, zero debris products alongside state of the art firing systems. This enables us to fire with split-second accuracy and synchronise displays perfectly in time with music or action to create a spectacular show. Whether you’d like to add impact to the hype video, focus on the player walk, or have in-game effects, we’ll design a show around you.

WE WORK WITH
DETAILED PRODUCT INFORMATION
Installation
Our flame and pyrotechnic effects are fired using wireless technology, this means we don’t need to spend time laying control cables, ensuring our de-rig is fast.
We always try to pre-rig the effects and store them in discrete purpose-built cases so that they can be easily transported to their display positions. Our trained technicians then ensure that the safety zone is cleared before firing as safety is always paramount.
Set-up
Set-up time will depend on where the products are to be located, the access or activity that is taking place in the area.
- If the area we’re working on is difficult to access or a clear zone with no activity, for example a stadium or stage roof, then our team will rig the pyrotechnics well in advance of the display.
- We can rig the equipment almost anywhere, often clamping firing plates to truss structures or scaffolding poles. Any products which are not positioned directly on the floor will most likely need to be secured, especially if there isn’t a flat surface or the products fired from these locations are more powerful.
- Accessing raised positions varies by location. Most stadium roofs are accessed by stairs, lifts or ladders but the trickier locations may need to be reached by a cherry picker or scissor lift. Our team have all completed working training and we have rescue plans in place.
Restrictions
For sporting events:
- At a stadium, our effects cannot be positioned on a sports pitch while the players are warming up. For this reason, we have a small window; the few minutes before team walk-out we move our effects into position.
- If we are providing in-game effects, we will position products so they will be able to be fired safely throughout the fixture, taking into account safety distances.
- In some cases we’ll rig our effects to truss, over a finish line or on the roof of a stadium for example.
How long will my show last?
Sporting shows are normally relatively short, averaging less than one minute. It’s all about making a big impact; think short, sharp bold and powerful. We only use the very best products available, but you can’t have an explosive product without some smoke (doesn’t apply to flames). For this reason, we have to consider the build-up of smoke in the show design, which can restrict the duration. It all depends on the location of your event. If outdoors, a slight breeze will disperse the smoke, but if inside or in a confined stadium, then the lack of wind will need to be taken into consideration.
Timings based on event:
- Sports shows last between 15 seconds and 3 minutes as we’re limited by the amount of time it takes for players to run on the pitch and line up. Extended displays can last for the duration of a song, which is played to build atmosphere prior to a team entering the pitch.
- Some sport fixtures have effects fired throughout the games for key moments like goals, tries and wickets. Our effects can fire over an extended period, but each element may only last a few seconds each time.
