We have pioneered the use of tension wire grid systems over four decades, designing and installing systems all over the world.
This technology has had a major impact on auditoria design, not only in theatres and other dedicated performance centres but also in exhibition halls, educational settings and external applications.
The experience gained through working with specifiers and end users alike means we are able to offer Cablenet solutions to suit any size or shape of venue and to satisfy the most demanding requirements in terms of safety, loading and access to lighting and rigging equipment.
Transform high level access with a tension wire grid
Cablenet tension wire grid systems are designed to carry the weight of sound and lighting engineers, and provide the perfect platform for riggers to rig through. These permanent, high level platforms are virtually invisible from ground level and cast no shadow from lighting rigs positioned above.
- No fixed walkways/scaffold towers
- Light through and rig through
- Virtually invisible from below
- Acoustically inert
- Enables rapid change of lighting designs
- Safe installation of rigged features
- Allows for blackbox stage configuration
Benefit from the versatility of Cablenet
Virtually any layout can be accommodated and Cablenet high level platform installations range from small, compact virtual floors to platforms covering thousands of square metres. The inherent flexibility of Cablenet means systems can also accommodate existing features such as columns or other structural supports.
