Sydney Opera House Fireworks

About this Project

For many years now, Tri-Point has provided rigging assistance to the teams at Foti Fireworks and Howard & Sons Pyrotechnics for the installation of their jaw-dropping fireworks displays on the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House.

For the 2023/2024 season, Tri-Point worked with Foti Fireworks on Sydney New Year’s Eve and the opening night of Vivid Sydney, and with Howard’s on the Australia Day 2024 Celebrations.

Designed by senior rigger, Gillian Huxley-Cathro, Tri-Point supplies, installs, and operates a custom winch rigging system to safely get equipment on to the sails.

Tri-Point’s riggers have to undergo a strict physical assessment before being granted access to the sails due to the nature of the claustrophobic climbs.

Atmospheric Memory

About this Project

Tri-Point provided specialised rigging solutions at the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo for an exhilarating exhibition.

Atmospheric Memory was a Rafael Lozano-Hemmer exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo during 2023. The exhibition allowed visitors to interact with artworks in an immersive environment filled with light, sound and colossal projections.

Our Solutions

Working within the hall required rapid design development adapting to artists and contractor needs. This led to Tri-Point providing a custom designed 6 leg ground support structure with a complex double layered truss grid for lighting, sound and projection screen positions.

Tri-Point also rigged large projection cloths that bordered the entire room, hanging from the truss structure. The size and finish of the cloth required careful and considered fitting to achieve a high-quality finish ready for projection mapping.

About this Project

Tri-Point were once again contracted by Destination NSW to provide design, rigging, scaffolding, ground supports, counterweight and riggers to help install multiple VIVID Sydney installations across the City.

The VIVID schedule is always logistically challenging, so big thanks to all our hard-working crew who smashed it out of the park again this year!
