We had the pleasure of participating in and completing a number of new and unique projects for our growing customer base. During the past year we have grown as a team, both in numbers and in terms of the quality of products and services we offer our global base of clientele. No matter how much our team grows, how many different projects we take part in, or how many new partnerships are formed, we would be nothing without you. To our supporters, our past and present customers and our trusted suppliers, we thank you and truly hope you will be a part of our continued growth and success in 2016 and beyond. On that note, here are a few of our favourite projects we were honoured to take part in over the course of the past year. While we can’t highlight every single project that took place, we’ll do our very best to focus on as many of our customers as possible. To see a more complete list of our past projects, we invite you to view our [Case Studies](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog) and would love your feedback in the comments section where applicable. **January 2015** **-** [Stage Mounted Telescopic Bleachers for Timmins High & Vocational School](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/stage-mounted-telescopic-bleachers-for-timmins-high-vocational-school) This project that took place in the northern Ontario town of Timmins was a very unique one and is an installation we are quite proud of. While most telescopic bleacher systems are mounted on the flooring surface typically in a gymnasium, this set of retractable bleachers was actually mounted atop the stage in the gymnasium.

The project took place at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre (TPASC), a 300,000+ square foot facility and home to the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario. This training centre was in need of a customized padding solution for their Diving Dryland Training Centre, where athletes train using equipment such as trampolines and harness rigs.

While we primarily deal with athletic or educational institutions and municipalities, this request came from us from a theatrical production company in Toronto, Ontario. The customer was looking for a product that would aid them in creating a boxing ring area for an upcoming theatre production. They ended up utilizing one of our residential rink kits, which are typically used to enclose hockey rinks.

We were tasked with designing, manufacturing and installing a large bleacher grandstand and a stand-alone press box for the Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board.

This particular padding project was a completely customized one for the Lloydminster Animal Hospital in Alberta. This custom wall padding is vital to the safety and protection of the animals under the care of the facility, which in this case, specializes in large mammals such as horses.

With the expected influx of spectators for the games, York University was set to be one of the many locations that would host organized events. Organizers were looking to expand the seating capacity of the stadium and came to us to design a very custom solution to add seating to the roof deck of the stadium. Our team ended up successfully installing a one-of-a-kind bleacher seating solution on the 5th level of the stadium.

We were particularly proud of this project given everything the organization stands for. The Miracle League serves over 200,000 children who might not have otherwise have the opportunity to participate in an organized baseball league. We proudly supplied bleacher structures fully optimized for accessibility under the guidelines of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

This time around, we had received a customized wall padding project from our clients in Kuwait at the American United School. Our design team worked closely with the client to provide detailed drawings based on measurements of the gymnasium. We then manufactured the padding to the exact specifications needed and safely and efficiently shipped the product directly to the end user for installation.

The netting was used to enclose the ceiling and protect equipment, while the padding was used on poles on other structures to protect participants.

The project took us to northern Ontario where we installed two banks of steel-framed, closed-deck aluminum arena bleachers, which allowed for adequate seating and a low maintenance solution to their needs.

We were awarded the contract to design, fabricate and install a customized set of grandstands for the Greater Vernon Athletics Park. What made this project unique was the fact that the seating system had to be built into an existing hillside and had to allow for spectators to enter the bleachers from the pathway on top of the hill. Utilizing a galvanized steel-beam structure, custom rise and run and a closed tongue and groove decking system, we successfully completed the grandstand, which can now house up to 400 spectators.

We will be designing, fabricating and installing a large-scale grandstand seating structure for the stadium that will drastically improve spectator sightlines as well as allow spectators a closer view of the action on the field. The project is slated to be completed by the beginning of the Queen’s Gaels 2016 season.
