Summit then designed an aluminum mother grid to fly below this, which is picked up on 4 x 5 ton hoists.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPOjuRd_NDCODqnX6gaS5gWpsB7haPUFjrZeQJBGSLH6u8FWaGKwKw7jAju-gPRwX9mTdLU2lta5ZqafAbYF_x-_pyd0T6KYx0vy4w6WFGjk-nZDp1OY47jOs4jarHyItUkhP2SwLEQr69/s1600/detail.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483200210526645698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPOjuRd_NDCODqnX6gaS5gWpsB7haPUFjrZeQJBGSLH6u8FWaGKwKw7jAju-gPRwX9mTdLU2lta5ZqafAbYF_x-_pyd0T6KYx0vy4w6WFGjk-nZDp1OY47jOs4jarHyItUkhP2SwLEQr69/s400/detail.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 508px;" /></a><br /><br />Once the sub-structure was flown at its 15m trim height, the bottom was filled in with flat panels and clad with moulded polystyrene - all with 537 holes drilled exactly in the right places for the 2x steel wire drops. This completely conceals all the metalwork and rigging, giving the appearance of a solid ceiling with the Ballman 'floating' in the air.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpS5bsQxz6TmEdL3vLo9Oc0BU8uR0GuLfTNmM881lqXtuLTpWSCkysFUY4WlaWZ2ApaWC6iaeEK31aA_hKNQOt1oYN5YDMGbvnoMVJ4EoM6l9tKQ7XYsS3L2miNCXOVQvdGywwVUHNklOm/s1600/Picture-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483199669225750642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpS5bsQxz6TmEdL3vLo9Oc0BU8uR0GuLfTNmM881lqXtuLTpWSCkysFUY4WlaWZ2ApaWC6iaeEK31aA_hKNQOt1oYN5YDMGbvnoMVJ4EoM6l9tKQ7XYsS3L2miNCXOVQvdGywwVUHNklOm/s400/Picture-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 420px;" /></a><br /><br />Ballman will stay in place for the whole World Cup tournament period, and when dismantled, the intention is that the balls will be given away. Jay Call commented: "It was a great pleasure to be involved in this project, which was different, challenging and extremely rewarding, both as a feat of engineering and a creative work for public enjoyment."<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">images and information courtesy of </span><a href="http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/" style="font-style: italic;">World Architecture News</a></span>
