Stage Engineering

Stage engineering refers to the design, installation and maintenance of the mechanical and structural systems used in theatres, performance venues and entertainment spaces. This includes lifting equipment, winch systems, rigging, stage platforms and flying systems that allow scenery, lighting and stage equipment to move safely and efficiently.

Stage flying systems are mechanical setups that raise, lower or move scenery, lighting and curtains during performances. They can be manual rope systems or fully motorised winches and hoists, providing precise, safe and reliable control of equipment above the stage.

We design and install a wide range of stage engineering systems, including manual and motorised winches, hemp rope lifting sets, staging and tiering systems, acoustic treatments and complete rigging installations. We also inspect, test and certify existing systems.

All lifting and rigging systems should be inspected regularly to comply with safety regulations such as LOLER and PUWER. Stage & Studio Projects carry out comprehensive inspections, testing and certification to ensure every stage engineering system operates safely, reliably and efficiently.

Yes. We offer complete maintenance and inspection services, including LOLER, PUWER, EICR and PAT testing. Every inspection is followed by a detailed report and recommendations to help maintain compliance, safety and long-term reliability.

The cost of a stage engineering project depends on the size of the venue, the type of system required and whether manual or motorised equipment is being installed. We provide bespoke designs and detailed quotations following an initial consultation to ensure your system meets your operational, safety and budget requirements.
