Modular and architectural event structures

VOLO's Grand Arena system spans up to 100 meters (328 feet) in clear width with heights up to 20 meters, accommodating events for 5,000+ attendees depending on configuration. For reference, a 60-meter x 100-meter structure provides approximately 64,500 square feet of event space—equivalent to a mid-size convention hall. Structures can extend to virtually any length by adding bays, and multiple structures can connect to create complex venue layouts with separate zones for VIP areas, backstage, catering, and main event spaces.

VOLO operates from Las Vegas, Nevada and Atlanta, Georgia with nationwide deployment capabilities. We deploy structures across North America for major events including CES, G2E, SEMA, and NAB in Las Vegas, plus corporate summits, festivals, brand activations, and sports venues nationwide—with capabilities proven at world-class international productions. Structures can be installed on virtually any surface—grass fields, concrete convention centers, asphalt parking lots, beach sand, and mixed terrain—with engineered solutions for each site's specific conditions and load requirements.

VOLO's modular structures support rigging loads from 1.5 to 25 tons per portal depending on the system. The I-Novation system handles 1.5 tons per portal, Grand I-NO supports 6-7 tons per portal, and Grand Arena accommodates 10-25 tons per portal—enabling complex lighting rigs, LED video walls, suspended scenic elements, and professional audio systems required for concerts, touring productions, corporate events, and live entertainment. All rigging points are engineered and certified, with load calculations provided for technical directors and production teams.

Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction, event duration, and structure size. Most temporary installations under 30 days require event permits rather than building permits, though some cities mandate engineered drawings and structural certifications regardless of duration. VOLO provides complete engineering documentation, PE-stamped drawings, wind and snow load calculations, and anchoring specifications required for permit applications. Our team works with city officials, fire marshals, and venue managers to ensure compliance with local codes and safety regulations.

Modular structures serve corporate events (product launches, summits, conferences), live entertainment (mobile theaters, concerts, touring shows), sports venues (grandstand covers, practice facilities, temporary stadiums), exhibitions (World EXPO pavilions, trade show booths, museum installations), and festivals (music festivals, cultural events, food & wine). VOLO's modular structures are capable of handling world-class events like the London Olympics, FIFA Beach Soccer, Commonwealth Games, and ATP Tennis.

Yes, 100% relocatable design is a core advantage of VOLO's modular structures. Your investment in a Las Vegas corporate event can redeploy for an Atlanta festival, tour internationally, or serve multiple events across different markets without modification. Some VOLO structures have been in service for over 22 years across hundreds of events. The modular system allows expansion, reconfiguration, and adaptation to different footprints—making them cost-effective for touring productions, annual festivals, multi-city roadshows, and organizations hosting recurring events.

The I-Novation system is VOLO's engineered modular building platform featuring foldable aluminum truss construction that creates clear span structures from 10 to 100 meters. The system includes three tiers: I-NO Theatre (20-30m spans for mobile venues), Grand I-NO (15-60m spans with 10° roof pitch), and Grand Arena (60-100m spans for large-scale events). All systems are 100% relocatable, support custom facades, integrate climate control and rigging, and meet EN13782 engineering standards—providing permanent building performance with temporary installation flexibility.

VOLO uses engineered anchoring systems tailored to surface type: core-drilled anchors for concrete (can be filled and repaired after removal), ground screws or stakes for grass and soil, ballast systems using concrete blocks or water barrels for surfaces where penetration isn't allowed. Each anchoring method is calculated for specific wind loads and structure size, with safety factors exceeding local building codes. Installations on existing venue ramps, parking lots, or event grounds require no permanent modifications and can be completely removed without surface damage.

Yes, VOLO offers extensive customization including printed fabric facades with logos and brand colors, custom-shaped architectural elements, integrated LED lighting for brand activation, vinyl graphics and banners, and powder-coated frame colors. Our structures have served as branded pavilions for world expos, corporate hospitality suites at sporting events, and product launch venues with complete brand immersion. Facades can be PVC fabric, glass panels, polycarbonate, or free-form designs in aluminum and steel.

Modular structures use engineered aluminum truss systems capable of supporting heavy rigging loads (1.5-25 tons per portal) and spanning up to 100 meters without center poles, while traditional tents typically max out at 40-60 feet with limited load capacity. Modular structures meet EN13782 engineering standards for wind and snow loads, accommodate multi-story configurations, integrate HVAC systems, and accept glass or hard-wall facades—making them suitable for mobile theaters, exhibition pavilions, and high-end corporate events where traditional tents fall short structurally and aesthetically.

Yes, VOLO's modular structures are engineered to EN13782 standards for specific wind speeds and snow loads based on installation location. Structures include integrated climate control options (HVAC, heating, insulation), weatherproof facades, aluminum gutters for rain management, and engineered anchoring systems rated for storm conditions. We've deployed structures for winter sports events, year-round festivals, and cold-weather corporate functions across diverse climates.

A clear span structure is a modular building system with no interior support poles, providing completely open interior space from wall to wall. VOLO's clear span structures range from 10 to 100 meters wide using engineered aluminum truss frames that bear all structural loads at the perimeter. This design maximizes usable floor area for seating, staging, exhibits, and equipment while allowing unobstructed sightlines—critical for corporate presentations, theaters, sports venues, and brand activations where interior columns would interfere with event layout or audience experience.

Modular event structures are large-span, relocatable buildings built with foldable aluminum truss systems for temporary events. Unlike traditional tents, modular structures feature engineered frames that support clear spans from 10 to 100 meters with no center poles, rigging capacity up to 25 tons per portal, and custom facades in glass, fabric, or polycarbonate. They're 100% demountable and relocatable, making them ideal for corporate events, festivals, exhibitions, and touring productions that need architectural-grade infrastructure without permanent construction.

Modular event structure rental costs vary based on size, duration, customization, and location. A 20-meter clear span structure for a 3-day corporate event typically ranges from $15,000-$35,000, while large-scale festival installations spanning 60-100 meters can range from $75,000-$200,000+ depending on rigging requirements, climate control, custom facades, and installation complexity. VOLO provides detailed quotes based on your specific event needs, timeline, and technical requirements. Contact our Las Vegas or Atlanta offices for a custom proposal.

Installation timelines depend on structure size and complexity. A standard 20-30 meter clear span structure typically installs in 3-5 days with a professional crew. Large-scale installations spanning 60-100 meters for festivals or sports venues require 7-14 days for complete setup including rigging, climate control, flooring, and custom facades. VOLO's I-Novation system features foldable truss design that reduces installation time compared to traditional construction—no foundations required, and structures can be installed on grass, asphalt, or concrete surfaces.
