St Pancras International - an Unusual Solution - November 2007

Projects – Project Rigging – Corporate – Special Events – St. Pancras

On November 6th, Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, launched High Speed 1, the UK's first section of high speed railway and officially opened St Pancras International Station, the magnificently restored Victorian train station in the centre of London.

The high profile event presented a particular rigging problem. Suspended AV, lighting and sound equipment could not be picked up from the space below the final hanging position, due to the fact that this was platform area and was still in use. The rigging solution provided by Unusual was to lift everything in one work zone and then to ‘drive’ it up to 150 metres down the roof structure I-beams using 5 tonne motorised beam trollies into a position where it was dead hung for the show.

The Revolution - specification

Products – Project Rigging – Revolution – Theatre

Unusual Rigging, The UK’s largest supplier of specialist technical rigging services to the entertainment and presentation industry showcased their new point hoist The Revolution at the ABTT Show this June. Unusual have rigged many of the large scale London musicals in recent years and also the tours following West End runs. The increasing size and complexity of the shows has brought a specific desire to provide a more flexible and efficient winch solution, which is quick and easy to use. Unusual have responded to the need with the development of their new point hoist called The Revolution.
