Safety engineering & management
Event safety
Carefree experiences
In recent years, the security of events has increasingly become the focus of event organisers as well as authorities and organisations with security tasks. Various security-related incidents in the past, including at events in German-speaking countries, as well as the ever-increasing number of hazards and threats have led to this increase in importance.
Nowadays, events of all sizes and types are associated with a variety of risks. These can include fire incidents, unforeseen visitor behaviour and crowd dynamics, technical defects, natural hazards, crime and terrorism. Holistic security management is therefore just as essential as detailed expertise in the individual specialist disciplines.
To make matters worse, events are often intended to be unique in nature, which frequently requires a new assessment under great time pressure and in an economically demanding and dynamic environment. Event organisers therefore need an experienced and reliable partner who knows and can assess the special features of the event market, develop and implement security concepts that are a perfect fit and also take into account the logistical, technical and operational processes of the event in question.
Our services in the area of event saftey
Gruner has been offering comprehensive planning and consulting services in the field of event security for many years. These often begin with initial feasibility studies for often unusual or new event ideas and venues. We are also a sought-after partner for building owners, general planners or total contractors as well as operators of event venues when it comes to planning and implementing security concepts - both for new and existing buildings. This also applies to event organisers themselves, who rely on our many years of expertise in the design of event sites, event processes and the general organisation of events.
Experience has shown that aspects of access management and crowd management are particularly important. With our experience and our modern tools, we analyse flows of people for a wide variety of events and develop measures together with our customers to handle them conveniently and safely. We use scientifically proven calculation methods or simulation programs to analyse critical areas, possible optimisations and tailor-made visitor management concepts. Our aim is to ensure that events run smoothly and safely both during normal operations and in the event of an evacuation.
One focus of our work is the safe organisation of sports and festival events. Countless visitors to football matches, sporting events and well-known music festivals throughout the German-speaking world can rely on us to have taken all the necessary safety precautions in our planning so that they can enjoy ‘their’ event without any worries. Our customer portfolio also includes trade fairs, museums, multifunctional arenas and smaller event venues, as well as transport companies and security authorities that contribute to unforgettable experiences.
