By: Banker Wire The design of the Stade de Soccer de Montréal pays homage to and blends in with its surrounding landscape – a former quarry now being turned into what will be the largest urban park in Montréal. Outside, the stadium shows its versatility as a structure built around the topography, not despite it. Inside, this versatility is furthered not only by its multiple configurations, but by its minimal, naturally-lit look and feel. When charged with finding equally versatile interior design components that would meet both these technical and aesthetic requirements, architects Saucier + Perrotte chose Banker Wire woven wire mesh. In terms of technical requirements, Banker's woven wire mesh effectively separates the playing field turf from the locker room corridor, and does so while remaining immune to wear and tear in the high-traffic area. "We were looking for a continuous element to clearly and elegantly define the space between the locker rooms and the soccer field – an element that also would not break down or become compromised," Saucier + Perrotte specified Banker Wire's M12Z-17 mesh pattern (http://bankerwire.com/ "Visually, we liked Banker Wire's metal mesh because it provided a minimalist aesthetic without detracting from the look of the wood beams above," adds Davies. "The material also blends very well into the guard rail below, and its semi-transparent qualities allow natural daylight into the heavily-used corridor that leads into the locker rooms." Banker's Canadian Representative, Rieger Architectural Products, provided the installer with product information and support throughout the project. This eliminated any unnecessary challenges for the architect and allowed a simple transition from design to reality. "Saucier + Perrotte was looking for a sturdy and functional mesh that was also attractive," The end result is a one-of-a-kind sports facility, with a design and usability that will be enjoyed by the community and visitors for years to come. The Stade de Soccer de Montréal was completed in April 2015. The project team included owner the City of Montréal; architect Saucier + Perrotte Architectes, Montréal, QC, Canada; Banker Wire Canadian Representative Rieger Architectural Products, Winnipeg, MB, Canada; and fabricator Mometal Structures Inc., Varennes, QC, Canada. What is Pre-Crimped Woven Wire Mesh? Pre-crimped woven wire mesh is constructed of individual wires that are crimped prior to being woven together on a loom. Pre-crimping the wires provides a much higher degree of control during the weaving process. This allows for far more intricate and interesting patterns, as well as unique customization, to meet the vision of the designer. Banker Wire has refined and innovated its crimping process more than any other manufacturer, delivering more than 8,000 different spacing, diameter, and crimp combinations, plus endless customization options. As a result, Banker can make any woven wire mesh pattern imaginable – manufactured to spec for any project type.
