“Designing for live TV brings a different kind of pressure - everything needs to be safe, fast to build, and ready for whatever the production throws at it. For Gladiators, that meant making sure every platform, access route, and structure could handle the action.”
Temporary structures, public safety and compressed build windows.

Design checks, inspection notes and sign-off documentation.
What the brief was — and what we delivered.
MJC provided structural design for the BBC's Gladiators set at Sheffield Arena, including the elevated catwalk and wider support structure.
Live production demands
Television sets require speed, safety and absolute reliability. For Gladiators, the structure needed to support performer access, crowd safety and high-energy production requirements under broadcast conditions.
Outcome
MJC's engineering helped ensure that every platform, access route and set support could stand up to the physical demands of the production.
The work, on site.
