Red Bull Diving Platform

Crouch Waterfall designed the diving platform used for the UK premier of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Abereiddy, Pembrokeshire, Wales in September 2012.  This was a high profile event with international television and internet coverage.

Set in an historic slate quarry flooded by sea water, access to this remote coastal location was extremely limited.  The platform, a 1.5m wide timber and steel deck designed as two parallel steel frames each weighing less than 600 kg, was installed by helicopter at 27m above water level.  With an overall length of 12m and a cantilever at the free end of 2m, it was the longest ever used in this global competition.

We are hoping to be selected to produce a design to reinstall the platform for this year’s event.
