ENTERTAINMENT / PERFORMING ARTS

A key factor in all entertainment facilities is the continuous variation in occupancy rates, lighting levels, and equipment loads, from nearly zero to peak levels in rapid succession. Engineering simulations are required to determine system sizes that will neither be too oversized and expensive, nor leave the facility short of capacity. We also manage the design and selection of equipment for high levels of reliability and redundancy. A system failure during a critical filming segment can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and leaving a stage ‘dark’ for repairs can wreak havoc with the schedules of star performers.
