Rigging Policy
To effectively ensure life safety and maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of our ceiling, the following policies regarding rigging apply. The policies, rules, and regulations set forth in this document are meant as a guideline for this location, and may not be all inclusive. Additional policies, rules, and local regulations may apply. It is understood that Inspire is responsible for all rigging decisions and will work with the venue, sales team and clients in advance to provide suggestions which will ensure that everything overhead is rigged properly and safely. Inspire riggers will not take rigging instruction or direction from anyone except qualified/certified riggers, licensed engineers, or the Inspire Director of Rigging. Recommendations made by the rigging department are based upon manufacturer specifications; ETCP, OSHA, ANSI, ESTA, and USITT standards; as well as any local city, Fire, Police, State or Health regulations per location. Each property may also have their own internal regulations which may need to be recognized. Inspire riggers have the final word on anything being rigged. Any questions or concerns by any local or Inspire rigger must be reviewed and approved by the Director of Rigging. Inspire will provide all rigging hardware and labor required for attaching motors to the building and the truss to the motors. Anything overhead and over 50lbs is considered “Rigging”. Any additional rigging for audio, video or scenic elements which attach to the truss will need to be discussed. A rigging plot must be submitted and clearly display loads, equipment counts, equipment positions, and cable picks. This must be submitted electronically no later than 21 days prior to scheduled load-in. Acceptable file formats: DWG, VectorWorks, or scaled PDFs. Inspire is required to approve all rigging plots. All requests for rigging services and hardware must be received 21 days prior to load-in date to ensure proper staffing. Requests received later than 21 days prior to load-in may incur additional fees. The number of riggers required will be decided by Inspire based on size and production schedule of the event. Exceedingly large rigs that support abnormal loads or non-uniform distribution of weight or hardware may require plans that have to be approved and stamped by a licensed engineer selected by the venue. On shows larger than 25 points, a Production Rigger will be assigned and given 4-8 hours of pre-production time to review the plot and plan the load-in for the riggers, including any phone and email correspondence between client and production. Production Rigger will also provide 11”x17” and 24”x36” plots for riggers during load-in. Cable bridges may be requested for cable runs of more than 4 Socapex. No rigging hardware will be used outside of the manufacturer’s recommended use; no exceptions.
