Event Technical Services
Truss, Rigging, Electrical & Cable Management
Truss and rigging, electrical distribution and cable management planned as one combined load rather than three separate ones.
Overview
Truss, Rigging & Electrical across Pakistan
Truss, rigging, power and cabling are the parts of an event nobody photographs and everybody depends on. They decide what can be hung, where it can be hung, whether the venue will permit it, and whether the whole setup can actually be powered from the supply available.
Kaya plans this layer as a single load rather than three separate ones. Screen weight, lighting weight and speaker positions are considered together against the venue’s rigging points and floor loading, and the electrical plan covers the combined draw of screen, lighting, sound and any additional equipment.
Cable management is treated as part of the same job — routed, protected and dressed so that the working areas stay safe and the finished setup looks deliberate.
Where it is used
Typical applications
Every event asks something slightly different of the setup. These are the situations this service is most often specified for.
Screen support structure
Ground-support or rigged structure sized to carry the LED wall safely.
Lighting positions
Overhead and vertical truss carrying fixtures at the required height and angle.
Speaker flying and stands
Positions planned for coverage without obstructing sightlines to the screen.
Outdoor ground support
Free-standing structure with ballast for open-site builds.
Power distribution
Distribution from venue supply or generator across all technical departments.
Cable routing and protection
Routes planned across walkways, stage areas and public circulation.
Scope of work
What is included
Quoted against your actual event rather than a fixed package. Scope can be reduced or extended depending on what you already have covered.
- Structural plan covering screen, lighting and sound as one combined load
- Truss layout and ground-support or rigged configuration
- Venue rigging point and floor loading check
- Ballast and stability provision for free-standing structures
- Electrical load calculation across all departments
- Distribution from venue supply or generator
- Cable routing, protection and dressing
- Safe dismantling and removal after the event
Not sure what you need?
Send the date and venue and the team will work the rest out with you
Most enquiries start with a rough idea and a photograph of the room. That is enough to begin — the specification is built from there.
Planning considerations
Truss and rigging: what to plan for
The decisions below are inexpensive to make early and expensive to change late. Working through them before the quote is what makes the quote accurate.
Check what the venue actually permits
Rigging rules vary widely — some venues have engineered points, some allow ground support only, some require their own contractor for any overhead work. This is confirmed with the venue before the technical plan is fixed, not on the build day.
Calculate the total load, not the individual ones
Screen, lighting, sound, processing and catering equipment share one supply. Adding them up properly is what prevents a tripped supply during the programme, and it also determines whether a generator is needed.
Ground support needs floor space
Free-standing structure extends behind and around the screen and needs ballast. That footprint has to appear on the floor plan early, because it competes directly with seating and stage depth.
Route cables before the room is dressed
Once carpet, seating and staging are in, cable routes become very difficult to change. Planning the routes first keeps the finish clean and keeps walkways safe.
Delivery
How Kaya delivers this service
The same five stages apply whether the scope is a single screen or a full production.
-
01
Share the brief
Tell us the event type, expected audience, venue and what has to appear on screen. A rough idea is enough to start.
-
02
Confirm date, venue and requirements
We check the date, review the venue or its drawings, and confirm access, power and load-in timings.
-
03
Plan screen and production scope
We specify the SMD configuration and the stage, sound, lighting, rigging and setup that go with it, then quote against that scope.
-
04
Install, test and operate
The crew installs and tests ahead of the programme, then runs the screen and technical systems live.
-
05
Dismantle and close out
After the event we strike the setup, clear the site and hand the venue back in the condition it was received.
FAQ
Truss, Rigging & Electrical — questions we are asked
If your question is not here, send it with your enquiry and you will get a straight answer.
It depends entirely on the venue. Many hotels restrict or prohibit rigging, in which case ground-support structure is used instead. The venue’s rules are confirmed during planning so the design suits what is actually permitted.
Generator requirement is calculated as part of the electrical plan and can be included in the scope. For outdoor sites it is usually essential rather than optional.
Yes. Routing, protection and dressing of cable across the setup is part of the scope, both for safety and for the finished appearance of the room.
The rigging and structural plan is prepared by the production team and worked through with the venue’s requirements. Where a venue mandates its own rigging contractor or sign-off, that process is followed.

Often planned together with this
Most events combine several of these. Planning them as one scope keeps sightlines, cable routes and the load-in sequence working as a single plan.
