seating which can be arranged into six different stage configurations. The 6,000 sq. ft. space transforms through a series of moving seating towers and mobile seating wagons, multiple floor lifts and moving ceiling panels to offer different seating arrangements.Why Fall Protection?
The towers, which hold the CCPA’s distinctive box seating are equipped with air casters and can be angled to face the stage in any one of a number of positions. There are a total of 6 towers - 4 of which hold spotlights. Each time the box seating arrangements shift, the spotights on the towers have to be adjusted in order to provide the correct lighting to reflect the stage configuration in place. The box seats are approximately 40 ft. high and the spotlights are directly above those seats.
The Performing Arts Center employs very strict safety guidelines and required fall protection in order to keep its lighting technicians safe while adjusting the spotlights. To address this
fall hazard, Hy-Safe Technology installed four overhead horizontal cable lifeline systems at 13 ft. (per line). The systems were attached to the existing steel structure of the towers. The upright towers were thick and cylindrical in shape which made installation of the systems a little more complex. Each system was designed for one worker.Once installation of the system was completed, a training session was held for workers who would be accessing the
system, in order to provide them with proper use and maintenance instructions.
