Generator Rigging
The Master Riggers at Budco were tasked with rigging generators into a loud basement equipment room. Special ear protection with noise cancelling intercoms were utilized so our crew could safely communicate in the environment. The generators had to first be lifted by a crane in the driveway and set down in front of the doorway to the equipment room. A runway system was created to keep pressure off the floor and they were rigged into their final positions using gantries, forklifts, and skates.
