Engineering forlive events &temporary installations
Built for the live moment.
MJC delivers structural engineering for live events and temporary structures, ensuring safe, reliable stage, display and rigging designs for festivals, tours and events throughout the country.
Temporary sites, sets and event infrastructure
Wind-load assessments, stability design, signage and sign-off
Temporary works that have to behave like permanent ones.
For live sites, MJC's role is to make the load path legible: what is being carried, what resists it, and what documentation is needed before people arrive.
- Festival stages and backstage zonesTemporary stage structures, support zones and interfaces with live-site ground conditions.
- Broadcast sets and camera positionsStructural review for production platforms, towers, lighting rigs and set-support infrastructure.
- Temporary signage and brand activationsLoad paths, fixings and stability checks for short-term public-facing installations.
- Wind, ballast and restraintAssessment of exposed structures where uplift, overturning and lateral restraint drive the design.
- On-site attendance and sign-offClear documentation and engineering presence when build programmes are compressed.
Typical live-event briefs.
The best live-event engineering is direct. It gives production, contractor and event teams a clear answer before the structure is loaded, opened or filmed.
- Can this temporary structure stand up safely?Checking stability, ballast, wind action, fixings and support conditions for structures that may only exist for days.
- Can production loads be supported?Reviewing lighting, camera, screen, scenery and broadcast loads against the temporary frame or host structure.
- What needs to change before sign-off?Identifying restraint, bracing, bearing or connection changes early enough for site teams to respond.
- What paperwork does the site need?Providing calculations, inspection notes and sign-off documentation that can move through production and safety teams quickly.

MJC can review the load path, wind and ballast assumptions, fixings and sign-off route so the structure is ready for the moment it has to perform.
