Liverpool Convention Centre Opens Its Doors in Variety of Ways

Posted on 16th July 2009

Alco Walls is pleased to announce the completion of one of the largest projects in Acoustic Movable Walls.

The £1.1million project for the Liverpool Convention Centre to supply 340 panels, constructing a total of 34 separate walls ranging from 3 to 20 panels per wall were fitted across a total area of 2,400 sqm.

Ten independent stacking areas are served by 1km of track including main runs and transfer tracks.

A combination of 8m, 6m, and 4.5m panels with an acoustic rating of Rw55dB ensured that the main conference area had the flexibility to be arranged from either one, two, four or six rooms each enjoying full acoustic comfort in each room.

Each panel weighs between 600-800kg. Specific equipment was needed to hoist the panels into their individual positions, sometimes in confined areas.

The project took 12 months to complete, working in conjunction with Wilkinson Eyre as the architects and Sandy Brown the acousticians, in the development of the Series 100 walls used.

The main contractors were Bovis Lend Lease.

Situated in the heart of Liverpool on the historic, world heritage waterfront, the Convention Centre is a real success.
