RigSwitch Installed at P&J Live Aberdeen
Thursday 20th February, 2020
Eighteen of Zero 88’s new RigSwitch cabinets – for controlled and synchronised power switching – have been installed at P&J Live at The Event Complex Aberdeen, a brand new multi-million-pound state-of-the-art flexible entertainment, exhibition, event and conference facility delivered by Aberdeen City Council in partnership with Henry Boot Developments in this key Scottish city.
The fantastic futuristic-looking building was designed by architects Keppie and constructed by the Robertson Group. Leading theatre consultants Theatre Projects were commissioned to define and specify the site-wide technical infrastructure for Hall C and Conference Suites 1 and 2, and the tender for electrical contractor for these areas was won by LSI Projects.
When it came to a power switching solution for the LED lighting rigs predominantly requiring ‘hot power’ in these three main spaces, the need was for a safe, cost-effective and reliable system to control the predicted on / off power surges associated with large LED installations.
LSI Projects also won the tender to deliver the cabling infrastructure for the entertainment lighting rigs, audio and AV plus associated power distribution for these performance spaces including all the fibre connections, and they in turn chose RigSwitch to be an integral part of that setup.
Two variants – a 24 and a 36-channel version – of RigSwitch were supplied.
