Module Aims
To further study and critically examine the use of temporary structures compared with permanent structures, including grounding and viability. The student will learn how to; design and inspect temporary structures, utilizing the practical and theoretical knowledge gained at level 4. They will research various forms of structures and suspensions , and calculations. The module will also look at automated rigging systems and control.
Content Summary
Engineering and construction issues for the live entertainment industry.
' Use of temporary structures ' requirements and specification ' structure check and certification ' Current legislation, HSE Guidance codes of practice and relevant European and British standards.
Current types of truss used within industry, to include inspection procedures and safe methods of attachment.
Assess loads and calculate their reactions using static equilibrium for supporting a load, summation forces, bridal analysis and strength of materials, dynamic load and stability.
Ground Support ' Axial load calculations ' foundation calculations, uplift forces, lateral loads, sliding, disturbing forces, resisting forces, adjacent foundations, short bore piles and ballast.
Chain Hoists ' AC and DC Systems ' 3 Phase Power and Distribution for motors. Limitations, loading and unloading, mounting techniques, maintenance, load testing, hoist types, Hoist Control ' low voltage systems, motor control patch, encoded control systems.
