“Under the temporary venue that Protec built, were the exhibition centre’s utilities and drainage systems which had to be protected by the weight of the military vehicles some which weighed in excess of 60 tonnes. Therefore it had to be built up to 1m above the existing surface, graded up with sand, road base and tarmac/asphalt.”

Stephen Lakin, Founder and CEO, Protec, who was in charge of building the entire scenic set said, “Under the temporary venue that Protec built, were the exhibition centre's utilities and drainage systems which had to be protected by the weight of the military vehicles some which weighed in excess of 60 tons. Therefore it had to be built up to 1m above the existing surface, graded up with sand, road base and tarmac/asphalt.” Protec also built a temporary 65m long x 30m wide x 1m high ‘lake’ which held 2million litres of water on which jet boats and a submarine were run to get involved in the action. Lakin adds, “We added working waterfalls that we built into the mountain set along with artificial greenery to complete the scenic visual.”
