Numerous 45ft giants moved around the city center over a 4-day period with over 1.3 million people visiting the city over the event period. Liverpool City Council required us to pre-install barriers along the chosen route for each giant on each day, close off road junctions as a rolling road closure was put in and then remover after the event, and redeploying prior to the next day’s giant route.
Over the weekend we deployed 4,000 2.3m Ped barrier using a variety of vehicle sizes and crew shifts all suited in the changing urban environment we were working in. We required multiple teams to ensure that the event was able to flow with the giants effectively walking around the city. With so many people attending we also needed to consider local congestion and working in ‘live’ areas.
