Sorigué through its Facilities and technology business line has undertaken the supply and installation of the audiovisual system and acoustic conditioning of the Gregal Room in the Olympic Port’s Municipal Sailing Centre in Barcelona.  

Barcelona d’Infraestructures Municipals (BIMSA) has awarded this contract to the group as part of the upgrades Barcelona City Council is implementing to get the city’s port facilities ready for the America’s Cup.  

This project means that the Sant Martí district now has a fully equipped multi-purpose venue for hosting indoor activities.  

The service has included implementing electrical systems, conduits, wiring, connection boxes and rack cabinets along with the audiovisual media for content processing and projection.  

The new equipment includes microphones, loudspeakers, amplifiers, videoconference extension transmitters, an induction loop, displays and control system. Furthermore, the Gregal room now has systems for streaming connections, wireless presentations and a stand-alone video conferencing system.  

In addition, sound-absorbing fold curtains made of fireproof velvet have been placed in the lower section of the walls and a sound-absorbing treatment based on perforated wood fixed by means of a metal frame has been fitted for acoustic conditioning.
