− Verify technical feasibility (crane positions, crane types, component sizes, etc.)

− Research applicable standards and performance requirements.

− Plan the study phase to ensure we are designing a safe, strong structure.

− Join client calls, if needed, to ensure that information collected by project managers is accurate.

Design

− Perform thorough calculations for the strength and stability of the structure, taking into account the

boundary conditions and applied loads.

− Adhere to relevant standards and regulations.

− Ensure that draftsmen receive accurate data.

Preparation of construction build books and calculation notes

− Prepare a manual for the assembly team and the project manager.

− Compile construction plans and calculations in the build book for submission for approval and necessary engineering stamps.

− Collaborate with an outside engineering firm to verify that all calculations are correct and approved.

Construction and technical support during the assembly

− Ensure crew chiefs, build teams, and project managers have all the necessary information for the build.

− Explain calculations to local inspectors and stadium officials as needed.

Ongoing responsibilities throughout the assembly

− Calculate local adjustments, modified rigging, and as-built drawings as necessary.

− Add new components and modified configurations as required.

− Resubmit for approval when needed.

− Address technical questions from the crew chief, build teams, and project managers.
