Previous Projects
Cinema No. 1, Barbican Theatre, London
Part of the world renowned performing arts in the City of London, we were contracted to supply and install a replacement projection screen with a new masking system to accommodate the new format HD movies all linked in to the existing cinema automation system. The new masking system includes motors, masking control cabinets and control system including E-stops and remote touch screen controllers in the projection room with additional slave unit for use backstage. As part of the works we also provided a mezzanine platform behind the screen to allow access to the speaker system including a fall arrest system on the ladder access. We also installed a number of additional hard points and stingers to allow safe working in the roof space above the auditorium for the servicing of lighting. Completed November 2017 |
Hull Truck Theatre, Hull
Multistage have completed a number of structural surveys of the venue. These were required to allow Hull Truck Theatre to host new shows with specific requirements for stage loading and additional hard points for 'flying' performers from one part of the stage to another. Completed October 2017 |
Trapped Floor, Barbican Theatre, London
As part of the on-going modernisation of the theatre, the renewal of the trapped floor was a key step in the process. The trapped floor is irregular in shape and follows the perimeter of the raked floor structure. The existing stage floor panels and support arrangement meant that a large proportion of components were location specific and inflexible. The new stage floor and supporting steel structure, with the introduction of a new upstage, single spanning beam below stage, were designed to address these issues. The new arrangement offered a large proportion of uniform, interchangeable panels and a demountable column and bean arrangement of support steelwork giving flexibility in size and location of the traps as well as a simplified release mechanism.
