It is a fundamental aspect in the production of events and shows, as it is responsible for the planning, assembly and securing of suspension systems for heavy or dynamic elements, such as lights, LED screens, loudspeakers and scenery. Rigging refers to the use of structures, cables, pulleys, and other fastening devices that allow these elements to be hung and moved safely and accurately.

Structural calculations are a key component in the design of any type of construction or technical facility, including rigging, stage machinery, stages, and event structures. These calculations ensure that the structures can withstand the loads to which they will be subjected without compromising safety and functionality. In the following, I explain the basic process of structural calculations, applied to rigging projects and other event-related facilities.
Structural calculations are essential to ensure the safety of any technical facility. They must be carried out with precision and based on specific regulations for each type of project. Using specialised software and consulting with experienced structural engineers is crucial to avoid failures and ensure the integrity of structures during events.
