Events
Planning an event? Maybe an outdoor event from 100 people to over 10,000? We can support you whatever the size and nature of the project.
We have supported a variety of outdoor events, including site specific productions in locations you would never even think an event would take place.
Our support includes pre-event planning, contingency planning, documentation and attending safety advisory group meetings (SAG).
Our on site support offers monitoring during the event build, live and derig, ensuring your event is a success.
Have a question relating to this, or would like to find out how we can help with your pre-construction phase arrangements (or other roles and responsibilities relevant to Construction (Design and Management) regulations [CDM for short]), then don't hesitate to get in touch via our contact page.
