Clearance profile

Clearance profile for grandstands – clearances for access, escape and vehicle movement

What is a clearance profile in the context of grandstands?

The clearance profile describes the cross-section of a path or space that must be kept clear of all obstacles. For grandstands, clearance profiles are relevant for pedestrian underpasses, fire department access, and service vehicle access. Height and width are defined by standards or regulations.

Clearance profile planning for Bender grandstands

Bender takes all relevant clearance profiles into account when planning grandstands. Compliance is particularly critical for grandstands built above existing paths or passageways. A well-known example is grandstands built above pedestrian tunnels, such as the one Bender implemented for the Bruchsal Palace Festival, which features a pedestrian tunnel beneath the main grandstand.

Minimum dimensions for clearance profiles

Pedestrian walkways require a minimum height of 2.20 m and a width of 1.50 m. Fire department access routes must be at least 3.50 m × 3.50 m. Bender adheres to all clearance profiles during the planning phase.

Complex clearance profile situations

Building over drainage channels or existing structures presents particular challenges. Bender solves these with special designs featuring truss girders and reinforced joints.
