The Structural Foundation
of Every Great Event

3S Audiovisuales e Interpretación has been producing events in Panama for over 20 years, with more than 8,000 events to our name. Rigging and structures are the backbone of every large-scale production — the infrastructure that safely holds your LED screens overhead, positions your lighting fixtures at height, flies your speaker arrays, and gives your stage the right dimensions and look.

Our rigging team works with certified equipment and follows strict load-bearing calculations for every installation. Because we supply audio, lighting, and LED screens in-house, our structural planning is fully coordinated with the other technical elements from day one — no conflicting rigging plans, no last-minute surprises on load-in day.

Rigging & Structural
Services

Every structural element your event needs — designed, installed, and certified by our experienced team.

🏗
Truss Systems

Modular aluminum truss in box, triangle, and circular configurations. Used to create overhead rigs for lighting, LED screens, audio delays, and decorative elements. Scalable to any venue size, from compact hotel ballrooms to large-scale outdoor stages.

Indoor & outdoor
🎪
Staging & Platforms

Modular staging systems in variable heights and configurations. Custom stage dimensions for keynote presentations, award ceremonies, live performances, and panel discussions. Non-slip surfaces, skirting, and stair access included.

Any height & dimension
⚙️
Ground Support Structures

Self-supporting ground structures for venues where ceiling rigging is not possible. Used to hang LED screens, lighting bars, and audio arrays without the need for attachment to the building structure — essential for many Panama City hotel ballrooms.

No ceiling rigging needed
📺
LED Screen Rigging

Engineered rigging solutions for flying and ground-stacking LED video walls. Load calculations and safety factors are assessed for every installation, accounting for the weight, wind load (outdoor), and movement requirements of each LED configuration.

Safety Is Non-Negotiable
in Everything We Rig

Every structural installation we carry out follows strict safety protocols and load verification procedures.

📐
Load Calculations

Every rig is assessed for total payload before installation. We never exceed the safe working load of any truss, motor, or rigging point.

🔩
Certified Hardware

All shackles, motors, clamps and rigging hardware are rated, inspected, and certified. No improvised or non-rated components are ever used in a load-bearing capacity.

👷
Experienced Crew

Our rigging crew has years of hands-on experience across Panama's most demanding venues. They know the structural quirks and limitations of the city's major event spaces.

🔍
Pre-Show Inspection

Every rig is fully inspected before doors open. Secondary safety cables are used on all flown elements. We do not open a show with an uninspected rig.

Inspection & Show

A full safety inspection is completed before the event opens. Our riggers remain on-site throughout the event and manage the full de-rig at the end of the production.

Common Questions About
Event Rigging in Panama

Do most Panama City hotel venues allow ceiling rigging?+
It varies by venue. Many of Panama City's hotel ballrooms have limited or no structural rigging points available, which is why we use ground support structures extensively. These self-supporting truss systems allow us to fly LED screens, lighting rigs, and audio arrays without touching the building structure — making them the standard solution for most Panama City hotel events. We survey every venue before designing the rigging plan.
Can you build a custom stage for my event?+
Yes. We provide modular staging in custom dimensions, heights, and configurations. Stage width, depth, height, stair positions, and skirting are all configurable to your specific requirements. We also design stage layouts that optimize the positioning of LED screens, lighting, and audio to create a cohesive production look.
How do you ensure rigging safety at events?+
Safety is built into every step of our process. We calculate total payload before any rig is assembled, use only certified hardware with documented load ratings, apply secondary safety cables to all flown elements, and conduct a full pre-show inspection before opening. Our crew is experienced specifically in event rigging — not general construction — and they know the specific requirements of entertainment and corporate event environments.
Can rigging be done for outdoor events in Panama?+
Yes. For outdoor events we design ground support structures that are self-supporting and engineered to handle outdoor conditions including wind load. Panama's climate and occasional high-wind conditions are factored into all outdoor structural designs. We also waterproof cable runs and use outdoor-rated hardware for all exposed elements.
Is rigging coordinated with your LED, audio, and lighting teams?+
Yes — and this is one of the core advantages of working with 3S as a full-service company. Our rigging team works directly with our audio, lighting, and LED screen engineers from the design stage, so structural plans account for the exact weight, position, and power requirements of every piece of equipment. There are no coordination conflicts between separate vendors on load-in day.
How early do you need to load in for a rigged event?+
Rigging is always the first team in the venue and the last team out. For a standard gala or conference with a moderate rig, we typically need 6–10 hours for load-in and build. For large-scale concerts or complex multi-element productions, load-in may begin 24–48 hours before the event. We confirm exact load-in requirements during the planning phase and coordinate with the venue on access windows.
What venues in Panama do you work at?+
We regularly install rigging and structures at major event venues across Panama City including hotel ballrooms and convention spaces in Costa del Este, Punta Pacífica, and Casco Antiguo, the Atlapa Convention Center, corporate event spaces, and outdoor venues across the city and the interior of Panama. We are familiar with the structural characteristics and load-in logistics of Panama's primary event spaces.
Do you provide rigging-only or only as part of a full production?+
We can provide rigging as a standalone service for events where another company is supplying the production equipment, or as part of a complete production package where we also supply LED screens, audio, and lighting. Many clients choose the full-service option as it simplifies coordination and eliminates the risk of rigging plans being incompatible with production equipment requirements.
