Rigging Design
Design is our passion... Safety is our number one concern. Our team of twelve full time production riggers has over 275 years of combined experience that we bring to every project. Our goal is to provide elegant and efficient solutions to structural challenges that fit the big show picture. All of our production riggers are proficient in 3D AutoCAD and we also regularly draft in Vectorworks.
Structural Engineering
We have a full time licensed Structural Engineer on our staff who is involved in all safety related aspects of our operation. This participation and oversight helps to ensure the safety of our projects, and provides continuous, ongoing education for our Production Riggers. Additionally, having an engineer involved in the early design stages of custom projects produces better results, faster. Our engineer has also been specifically trained in the design of fall protection systems and has been certified as Qualified Person per the requirements of OSHA and ANSI.
Project Management
Our approach is to provide technical direction for all aspects of the show that will be rigged over head. Our process starts with the collection and careful study of all relevant show information, which we use to create the master drawing for the project. We pay particular attention to how the show will load in, operate, and load out, all in the context of the big picture, never losing sight of the time constraints or the budget.
Conventional Rigging
We have an extensive inventory of hoists, truss, aerial platforms, access equipment, and fall protection. Our equipment maintenance program is highly developed, and we believe it to be among the best in our industry, meeting or exceeding all standards we are aware of at this time. We continuously enhance our program, and proactively address concerns before they become problems. Rigging is not a sideline or after-thought for us, it is our core business.
High Performance Rigging
We partner with the best in theatrical automation to provide an integrated rigging solution, utilizing the latest in technology. This provides a turnkey solution for producers, and opens the door to creative possibilities for designers.
Custom Fabrication
We design-build custom structures to client specification on a regular basis. We enjoy projects that require more than just pulling gear off the shelf and welcome the opportunity to produce a unique structure for your project.
Consulting
We have consulted on the design of arenas, theaters, soundstages, hotel ballrooms, and art installations. We are available for and interested in new construction and renovation projects.
