For the floor that hits the cue at broadcast precision.
Sound stages, broadcast studios, LED volumes. The scenic move has to land on the cue and the floor has to turn around for the next production - so we engineer the motion, rig the grid, and hang FR-rated black drape to your schedule, not ours. Film and TV riggers run some of the hardest-working EXE Rise fleets in the country, we service studio hoisting for the ABC, and we develop camera track systems with the professionals who ride them.
From the grid to the gallery, one team has it.
A studio is a stack of rigging systems that all have to work to the cue - the grid overhead, the motion that drives a scenic move, the black drape that kills spill, and the certification behind them. Choose the stage that matches yours, then explore what we deliver across it.

What studios call us about.
Different stage, same short list. These are the calls that turn into a quote inside the hour - and the reason we keep the report ready before you ask.
The scenic reveal has to track on the cue and land in the same spot every take. I need it engineered, not bodged.
Studio Technical Manager
We strike one production and build the next on the same floor in days. The rigging has to turn around with it.
Production Designer, TV series
I need a full black-drape and masking package for the floor, FR-rated, and I need it sized to the grid.
Key Grip, feature
Nobody can tell me what the grid is actually rated to carry, and we are flying a heavier rig than the last build.
Gaffer, broadcast studio
We have a short turnaround before the next shoot and a rigging list longer than the window.
Operations Manager, studio facility
Everything your floor touches, from one team.
Most of what runs above and around your stage, we cover. Hover or tap any capability to see how it shows up on your floor - listed in the order most studios meet us.
The paperwork your insurer asks for.
Your lighting grid, hoists and soft goods inspected and certified on a schedule built around your production calendar - so the load cert is current and the documentation is ready before your insurer, the studio or the next shoot asks for it.
Nothing above the floor is a question mark.
Lighting-grid certification, hoist servicing and rigging design, engineered and certified to AS 4991. The grid your fixtures, scenic loads and LED hang from, load-rated and signed off across the whole ceiling - so the rig holds every take.
Soft goods that stay FR-current.
Black masking, cycs and scrims, built to your grid and floor measurements, FR-treated and recertified before the window lapses. New stock, hire stock, or recertifying the drape you already run.
Turnarounds that land between shoots.
Technical gallery and control-suite fit-outs, grid upgrades and full stage-systems installs, programmed into your studio turnaround and commissioned before the next production loads in. New-build stage or a working studio, scoped, installed and signed off.
The cue-driven move, engineered to land.
When the shot calls for a move the standard rig can't make - a tracking reveal, a flown set piece, a scenic effect driven to a cue - we design, build and motion-control the mechanism so it lands in the same spot, take after take.
Sets built to land on the floor and strike clean.
Set construction, prop fabrication and scenic hardware built for the way a shoot runs - made in our workshop and on site, with the engineering paperwork to back it, and engineered to strike clean for the next production.
Extra kit for the shoot that needs it.
Extra black masking, a few more hoists or a full studio package for one shoot - the same kit you'd buy, booked to your shoot dates and delivered around your rig and de-rig.
How it usually goes, start to finish.
Most studio projects with TSA follow the same five-step shape. Mapped to your production schedule, not ours.

Questions studios ask us most.
Yes - per-production delivery is the core of how we work with studios. We strike, re-rig and re-certify to the build schedule you give us, not a calendar of ours. Tell us the turnaround window between productions and we scope the work to land inside it, with the grid signed off before the next floor goes up.
That is what our production engineering is built for. A tracking reveal, a flown set piece or a cue-driven scenic effect is designed, built and driven by motion control so it lands in the same spot, take after take. We engineer the mechanism to the cue sheet you actually have, load-test it, and operate it cue-cued during the shoot.
No. The Venue Systems Health Check is structured to work around your existing rig. We document the grid as found, flag anything that needs deeper review, and prioritise remediation against your production schedule. If teardown is required for any specific item, we'll book it separately.
Lifting and rigging work is delivered against AS 4991 and D8 Plus where applicable. Drape FR treatment is delivered against AS 1530. Electrical testing against AS/NZS 3760. Where a studio has insurer-specific requirements, we work to whichever standard is stricter.
That's the most common reason studio operators ring us. A staged programme - same audit format, same report structure, same recertification cycle across every stage - gives operations a single picture and a single budget line. We've done this for studio facilities and cultural infrastructure portfolios.
Bring us the floor. We'll bring the report.
