For the venues that hang a show on a bump-in window.
Arenas, convention centres, festival sites. The load plan has to be signed off before the rig goes up - so we work to the engineer's rated points, put a hire fleet on your show dates, and turn the room around for the next event.
From the roof steel to the loading dock, one team has it.
A live-event venue is a stack of rigging and staging systems that all have to be signed off before the doors open - roof and motors, lighting, PA and screens, masking and the documentation behind them. Choose the venue that matches yours, then explore what we deliver across it.

What event venues call us about.
Different show, same short list. These are the calls that turn into a quote inside the hour - and the reason we keep the load plan ready before you ask.
We have a multi-point rig going up over the crowd and the bump-in window is a single overnight.
Head Rigger, arena
We run theatre, sport and a conference back-to-back, and nobody owns the rigging that crosses all three.
Operations Manager, mixed-use venue
The tour rig has to integrate with our house points, and I need it signed off before the truck leaves.
Production Manager, touring show
Council wants the load plan engineered and certified before we can hang a thing off the roof.
Event Manager, convention centre
We are short crew for the build and need certified riggers on the dates, briefed to our plan.
Technical Producer, live event
Everything your show hangs on, from one team.
Most of what flies above the floor and bumps in around it, we cover. Hover or tap any capability to see how it shows up at your venue - listed in the order most venues meet us.
Nothing flown over the crowd is a question mark.
Roof-point assessment, hoist supply and rigging design, engineered and certified to AS 4991. The steel your lighting, PA and screens hang from, load-rated and signed off to the engineer's points - so the rig holds, every show.
House systems that carry every show you book.
Permanent rigging grids, staging and full production-systems fit-outs, scoped, installed and commissioned with the documentation behind every point. A new arena or a stadium being dressed for events, engineered and signed off.
The load plan, the crew and the bespoke move.
Engineered load plans signed off before the rig goes up, certified riggers supplied to the build and briefed to your plan, and bespoke motion when the show calls for a move the standard rig can't make.
A fleet booked to your show dates.
Hoists, truss, controllers and consumables for one event or a full run - the same kit you'd buy, certified, booked to your dates and delivered around your bump-in and bump-out.
The sign-off council and your insurer ask for.
Load plans engineered and signed off before the rig goes up, and rigging grids, hoists and staging inspected and certified on a schedule - so the documentation is current and ready before council, your insurer or the promoter asks for it.
Masking that closes the stage in.
Blackout drapes, stage masking and screen surrounds, FR-treated and made to the opening - to close the stage in, kill spill and keep the fire paperwork current before the event. New stock, hire stock, or recertifying the drape you already run.
Event sets built to rig big and strike fast.
Set construction, prop fabrication and scenic hardware built for the scale you work at - quick to rig across an arena floor, safe to fly over a crowd, and struck fast on the turnaround between events.
How it usually goes, start to finish.
Most event projects with TSA follow the same five-step shape. Mapped to your show dates, not ours.

Questions event venues ask us most.
Yes - that is the most common reason event venues call us. We work to the building's rated points, engineer the rig to your plot and issue the load plan and sign-off the council, the venue and your insurer ask for. Bring us the rig and the dates early and the paperwork is ready before the truck arrives.
Yes. We allocate hoists, truss, controllers and consumables to your show dates, and supply certified riggers to the build, briefed to your plan. The same kit you'd buy and the same people who'd install it, booked to the calendar and gone again after the strike.
That is core to what we do. We assess the house points against the incoming tour rig, engineer the bridging steel or hardware where they don't line up, and certify the combined hang - so the venue and the producer both get a sign-off they can stand behind.
Lifting and rigging work is delivered against AS 4991 and D8 Plus where applicable. Drape FR treatment is delivered against AS 1530. Electrical testing against AS/NZS 3760. Where a venue has insurer-specific requirements, we work to whichever standard is stricter.
Yes. A venue running theatre, sport and conference back-to-back lives or dies on the turnaround. We document the rig after each event, inspect what carries through to the next, and plan the bump-out and re-rig so the room is ready on the dates you have, not the dates we'd prefer.
Bring us the rig. We'll bring the load plan.
