I am very pleased to inform you that Total Structures will be hosting an outdoor stage roof educational event in Las Vegas, NV, the week of LDI. The two-day event will be held on Wednesday, October 17th and on Thursday, October 18th, 2012 and will be held at MEET in downtown Las Vegas. This past March, Total Structures hosted a similar event in Ventura, CA to great success. Click here for more details on that event.
The syllabus for this event will be as follows:
Engineering Principles
Taught by Jeff Reder, Principal and Partner in Clark-Reder Engineering, a full service consulting engineering firm based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Jeff and his business partner, Daniel Clark, presently hold licenses in 44 U.S. states and are highly experienced in the design and use of both aluminum and steel outdoor stage roof systems.
Throughout the course of the day Jeff will explain the process of structurally engineering an outdoor stage roof, provide guidance on how to read such reports as well as help the attendees develop and perfect important operational documentation such as operating manuals, high wind speed action plans, etc.
Focus will also be brought on explaining relevant standards such as ANSI E1.2 - 2006 (Entertainment Technology - Design, Manufacture And Use of Aluminum Trusses and Towers) and ANSI E1-21 - 2006 (Temporary Ground Supported Overhead Structures Used to Cover Stage Areas and Support Equipment in the Production of Entertainment Events).

Roof and Truss Inspection Principles
Taught by Adrian Forbes-Black, Vice-President of Total Structures. Adrian has nearly twenty years of entertainment rigging industry experience in both the United States and Europe, having worked for companies such as Tomcat and Columbus McKinnon before relocating to California six years ago to work for Total Structures.
Adrian, assisted by Jeff, will teach the fundamentals of aluminum truss design as well as how to visually inspect the product and document the inspection for continued safe use.
