Intro
The structural engine — stage, B-stage, automation, roof load, rigging points, build days, structural sign-offs. The engine that decides whether the show can hang from the building.
Manifesto
- ·Rigging is where shows fail catastrophically. The Stage engine refuses to advance a load plan that does not hold against the venue's structural model.
- ·Roof loads, point loads, B-stage cantilevers, automation paths — every weight modelled against every venue, every time.
- ·Sign-offs are versioned, owned and time-stamped. No load goes up that has not been signed by a structural engineer of record.

Wembley Stadium build
Capabilities
Load plan
Roof load, point load and dead-weight modelled against the venue's structural envelope.
Rigging plot
Per-point rigging plots signed off by structural engineer of record.
Build schedule
Build days, mid-build inspections and strike timed against curfew and freight.
B-stage / catwalks
Cantilevers, automation paths and crowd interface modelled and signed.
Pitch protection
Stadium pitch protection plans signed off with venue and (where relevant) the FA.
Insurance trail
Structural sign-offs feed directly into the insurance and venue handover packs.
Workflow
- 01
Production Design hands over scenic and load assumptions.
- 02
Load plan modelled against the venue; structural sign-off captured.
- 03
Build, mid-build inspection and strike scheduled against curfew.
- 04
Sign-offs and inspection logs fed to insurance and venue handover.
AI angle
AI on rigging
Anomaly detection on point loads — flags any load that drifts outside design tolerance during build or show, before it becomes an incident.
Outcomes
- Every rigging point signed by an engineer of record.
- Pitch protection plans accepted by venue and rights-holder.
- Build schedule respects curfew, freight and crew rest.
- Insurance pack issued direct from the rigging engine.
