Beam seating system

A method of installing a beam mounting system on a curved riser comprising:

• providing a beam which has a length and which is elongated and substantially straight in a direction and has a first face and a second face, the second face containing a protrusion configured to receive a connector which hangs from the protrusion to mount a support item connected to the connector to the beam;
• positioning the beam adjacent a first support, the first support including an upright wall which is curved;
• anchoring a portion of the beam to conform to the curve of the upright wall such that the anchoring causes the beam to bend, the bending moving the first face of the beam closer to the vertical wall and the anchoring holding the beam in a bent configuration;
• mounting one or more support items to the beam by hanging the connector from the protrusion.

A method of installing a beam mounting system on a curved riser comprising:

• providing a beam which has a length and which is elongated in a direction and has a first face and a second face, the second face configured to receive a connector securable to a support item which is mounted the beam, wherein the beam is metallic;
• positioning the beam adjacent a first support which comprises concrete, the first support including a curved wall with one or more spacers between the beam and the first support;
• anchoring a portion of the beam with a plurality of spaced anchors located between the two ends of the beam, the spaced anchors extending into the wall approximately perpendicular to the curved wall and the first face, the anchoring pressing the one or more spacers between the curved wall and the beam and the one or more spacers separating the metal of the beam from the concrete of the first support;
• wherein the beam is bent.

A method of installing a beam seating system comprising:

• providing a plurality of chairs, each having at least one connector;
• providing an elongate beam having a first face and a protrusion extending from a second face of the beam, the protrusion configured to secure to the connector;
• securing the elongate beam to a support such that the first face faces the support and a non-metallic spacer is clamped by and between the first face and the support;
• connecting the connectors to the elongate beam.

A method of installing a beam mounting system comprising:

• providing an elongate beam;
• providing a plurality of chairs, each having at least one connector, said plurality of chairs comprises a number of chairs (N);
• securing the elongate beam to a support comprising concrete, the securing using a number of anchors (A) which pass through the elongate beam and into the support and are spaced with respect to each other along a longitudinal length of the elongate beam such that A is greater than (N+1)×0.5 and A is less than (N+1)×1.75;
• securing said connector of said plurality of chairs to the elongate beam to thereby secure the plurality of chairs to the support wherein the connector secures to the elongate beam without interaction with the anchors.
