[SML] Rigging Renovation

[PJ Veltri]

Hi all,

I've recently been appointed the interim co-technical director for our
school district in Metro-Detroit and was surprised in a meeting that was
billed as a discussion of upgrading auditorium seating with a request from
the superintendent to look into upgrading the space to get it into tip-top
shape and at a level with the other four spaces in our district.

My main area of concern is the counterweight system and the method of
install of the FOH truss which, from use and my experience, both need a
total overhaul and the district seems willing to at least explore the idea.
I was directed to "reach-out" to rigging companies for "support" and have
absolutely no idea how to move forward on that, or really what that means.

Does anyone have any advice on what my next steps are? Do I call my
favorite two companies and ask what their recommendations are? Do i get a
few different inspectors in?

Thanks!
