"Scena has produced a dazzling set for the show, using the expertise in its workshops and fully constructing the stage in its setting out area."

Gordon Ramsay's Bank Balance required a bespoke set centered around a volatile balancing board where contestants stack gold bars, risking everything if the structure collapses. The show's physical gameplay demanded precise engineering to create a dramatic, functional centerpiece that would perform reliably across multiple episodes while delivering visual tension for primetime television.

Scena's engineering team designed and fabricated a large cantilever platform with integrated scenic columns, building the complete set in five weeks. The cantilever mechanism was rigorously tested at Scena's facility to ensure consistent performance and safety under the show's demanding gameplay conditions. Following successful testing, the team disassembled the entire structure for transport and reassembled it at BBC's Elstree Studios over two days, ensuring seamless installation for production.

The project showcased Scena's technical capabilities in delivering complex mechanical sets under tight television production timelines. The combination of structural engineering, scenic craftsmanship, and efficient logistics ensured the set was camera-ready and fully operational for BBC One's primetime schedule.
