4D Engineering

Performance Solutions & Event Technology

Overall technical direction of event technology projects, worldwide: from large stadium shows and special events to trade fairs, congresses and theatre and TV productions.

Overall technical direction, worldwide

We take on the overall technical direction of event technology projects, from the first idea to the handover of a fully operational system. One responsibility for all trades, in Germany and worldwide.

We bring everything large projects need: conception and detailed technical planning of rigging and lighting systems, surveying and 1:1 transfer onto the floor, technical management on site and complete documentation. Whether a stadium show, trade fair stand or TV production, whether in Frankfurt, Shanghai or the USA: you have one contact who knows your project from start to finish.

Stadium shows and special events

When the whole world is watching

Large stadium shows and special events are among our key areas, such as the opening of major sporting events and the group draws of international football tournaments.

Such events leave no room for error. They are often broadcast live to a worldwide TV audience, with tight time slots, many international service providers and high safety requirements. As overall technical direction, we keep an eye on all trades, from planning and rehearsals to the show.

4D interactive

Right decisions need clear data

Ambitious projects succeed through a chain of right decisions. 4D interactive provides the information for them.

4D interactive is our network-based system for planning, transferring and displaying technical and logistical system data. It provides reliable information on efficiency, operational readiness, build progress and error rate at any time.

International

At home in the Rhine-Main area, working worldwide

We have extensive experience with international and intercontinental projects and have provided technical support for events throughout Europe, in the USA, in Kazakhstan, in China and in Southeast Asia, and previously also in Russia.

Whether a trade fair stand in Shanghai, a motor show in Geneva or a conference in Barcelona: we know the processes of large projects abroad, coordination with international teams and logistics across borders. Our plans and lists from 4D interactive are easy to understand for everyone involved, regardless of language and location.
