Sunbelt Rentals Creamfields Case Study

Just how do you make a festival like Creamfields happen? Fields in Cheshire don’t just transform themselves. It takes a level of organisation most of us can’t comprehend.
Where do you start?
Sunbelt Rentals’ involvement in Creamfields begins months before the event takes place, starting with the Trakway system, the foundation of the infrastructure that literally paves the way for the event to happen. The build begins just 4 weeks before the event opens, with 18km of Trakway laid in the space of a week.
With the Trakway down, the perimeter fence can be erected, 8km of it in total, securing the site. The Sunbelt Rentals Team supplied and installed over 1km of the external fencing.
Working with event organisers, we supplied a range of plant and access machines that can be called upon and utilised by the hundreds of different contractors on site. Then comes controlling the safe movement of over 70,000 people each day, across 400 acres.
Over 22km of barriers were supplied for just that. To control crowds on the way in, on the way out, to protect structures, and ensure a safe flow of pedestrian traffic around the site.
A week out from the event our team took a call to supply 4km of Heras fence panels, needed the next day, after another supplier was unable to deliver.
Within 12 hours over 1000 fence panels arrive on site, delivered by the Sunbelt Rentals team.
