1 Rigging Requirements

2 Statement The Rigging Requirements define the rigging and hanging standards applicable for all events held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre including exhibitions, entertainment, conferences and special events. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre Authority reserves the right to change, modify, revise or add to these guidelines without notice. Definitions The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre Authority (hereafter referred to as Convex Malaysia Sdn Bhd) is the management of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre Audio-Visual Department (hereinafter referred to as AV KLCC) is the exclusive provider of rigging services for the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Rigging Overview In keeping with international standards, the Centre is equipped with static rigging points in all of its major venues: ballrooms, banquet halls and conference halls. The static rigging points vary in maximum vertical load from 50kg to 500kg, depending on the location and function. (Please refer to Reflected Ceiling Plan) The Centre reserves the right to prohibit the use of any rigging deemed unsafe. Such rigging will be removed or changed at the contractor s expense. Conference Areas The ballrooms, banquet halls and conference halls are fitted with static rigging points. The maximum vertical loads of these points vary from 50kg to 500kg, depending on the location and function. (Please refer to Reflected Ceiling Plan). Banner Hanging Points The public areas are equipped with remote-controlled banner hanging rods. The maximum vertical load per rod is 20kg with a maximum load of 10kg per point attached to the rod. The banner hanging rods are 3 metres in length and located at approximately 6 metres intervals. Each banner hanging rod is attached to remote-controlled motors to allow the banner hanging rod to be lowered to a height of 1.5 metres from the ground. Exhibition Halls Exhibition Halls 1, 2, 4 & 5 are fully-equipped with a box truss rigging system. This system is permanently rigged and modular in design (Please refer to Exhibition Halls Reflected Ceiling Plan). The maximum load per point is 250kg with a total load of 1,000kg per 6m x 6m module or 9m x 9m module. The entire system is automated to allow the box truss to move from the ceiling level to a height of 1.5 metres from the ground, allowing for easy access and negating the need for height access equipment, thus reducing build up and tear down time.

3 Fly Bars and LX lighting bridges (Plenary Hall and Plenary Theatre) The Plenary Hall and Plenary Theatre are equipped with a motorised fly bar system. This system allows for the rigging of scenery, screens, legs, borders and backdrops to a maximum load across the fly bar of 500kg. In addition, both the Plenary Hall and Plenary Theatre are equipped with front-of-house lighting bridges to facilitate the rigging of additional lights (Please refer to Reflected Ceiling Plan). Mobile Rigging System The Centre, as part of its AV services, has both Tri truss and Box truss available for use. The truss and all the necessary motors and rigging gear comply with international standards. In the interests of safety, all internal equipment for rigging is handled by the Centre s inhouse AV Department only. Rigging Costs All rigging systems are subject to a charge per rigging point calculated on the maximum load of that point (Please refer to the Summary of Event Service for the relevant costs). The price per point is inclusive of all labour and lifting equipment associated with the rigging of equipment. The price per point is only relevant should an external contractor be appointed to rig in the venue. The cost per point is waived if the Centre s rigging personnel and equipment are used. Should a contractor wish to rig any equipment that requires electrical power, the contractor is advised that power requirements are subject to a connection fee depending on the total power load required (Please refer to the Summary of Event Service for the relevant costs).

4 Rigging Guidelines The Rigging Guidelines govern the attaching of any hardware to, and from, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre building structures including rigging points, truss panels, fly bars, banner rods and high beams. Examples of such hardware include rigging, motors, trussing, lighting, audio, video walls, projectors, laser systems, banners and any other equipment needed to be suspended from the Centre s rigging points. These requirements are mandatory and must be adhered to without exception. 1. AV KLCC is the exclusive provider of rigging services. 2. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre reserves the right to refuse services where equipment do not meet the safety standards and requirements established by these guidelines and regulations. 3. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre s riggers will only attach equipment to the Centre s rigging points. 4. No rigged equipment will be moved without AV KLCC present. 5. There will be no rigging from conduits, sprinkler pipes, gas pipes, drywalls, fascia, lighting fixtures, raceways, buss ducts, all threads, air ducts, speaker systems, air wall tracks, ceiling tiles or any other non-load bearing structures. 6. Proposed rigging requirements and plot diagrams should be submitted for approval a minimum of two weeks (14 days) in advance of an event. Failure to do so may result in possible delay in work and/or cancellation of rigging projects. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre may prohibit the installation of any items not in compliance with the required plan review. Proposed plans and/or diagrams must include the following information: a. accurately scaled plan b. maximum weight load per point including motor & chain c. all items to be flown and quantities on each truss system, i.e. speakers, d. lighting units, projectors, scenic, signs, special effects, automated units, etc. e. trim heights above the floor for all flown items f. company, project name or exhibit, designer or draftsman g. complete contact information of the submitter h. detailed production schedule for set up and tear down

5 The plans should be submitted to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and AV KLCC, the rigging services provider. 1. All rigging must conform with the management s rules and regulations, as well as the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre s requirements. No hanging item may exceed the stated height high and low limitations. 2. A secondary or redundant truss safety is required on each individual item suspended from the rigging point. All nylon or polyester slings (span sets) must be backed up with truss safety at each point. 3. Only AV KLCC wire rope will be used to attach any items to the structures. No chain slings are allowed to be attached to any structure or truss. 4. All equipment and materials flown must be clearly marked with WLL (Working Load Limit) or SWL (Safe Working Load) and meet the standards and requirements established by these rules and regulations. Hardware not accepted in a weight bearing capacity include: carabineers (exception - locking forged steel rated carabineers), openweave straps, quick links, French clips, snap clips, dog clips, shackles which do not meet strength requirements MS ISO 2415:2005 Forged shackle for general lifting purpose. 5. All product materials must be non-flammable and must be RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliant. Certificates may be required for some applications. 6. All flown support structures, trussing, equipment and hardware are required to pass overhead lifting requirements established by AV KLCC. To provide to AV KLCC any additional information regarding the capabilities of any equipment that are being considered for use in the Centre. Final decisions about the safety limits of any item will reside solely with the AV KLCC representative. 7. Items for decoration are limited to 250kg in total weight. In the case of items exceeding250kg, the AV KLCC rigging team must be involved in any attachments to the building structure. 8. The AV KLCC team is not required for the rigging of lightweight loads such as signages, banners, logos, drapes, etc. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre exhibition set up team may hang these items, such as banner rod, at a specific area. 9. In compliance with established Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre rigging attachment standards, a representative from AV KLCC will have final approval of all trusses, hardware and flown equipment or objects used in the Centre. 10. For larger rigging projects, a site survey is strongly encouraged by the Centre. Please contact AV KLCC at for an appointment to schedule a walk-through. 11. Rigging must not disturb, cause to be removed, or damage the fire retardant material which is applied to the rigging point or truss. Beams may be wrapped with 0.5cm burlap or carpet on truss where permanently installed riggings points do not exist. This rigging application can only be at the structural panel point.

6 12. At the discretion of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, the event management may be required to produce tags, labels, and/or supporting documents to verify that the specific inspections and certifications have been performed in accordance with the standards set forth by the Occupational, Health and Safety Association (OSHA). All pertinent information must be on hand and available upon request by AV KLCC. 13. Only employees of an official show contractor, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and AV KLCC team will be allowed to operate a scissor lift within the Centre. At all times, the scissor lift operator must wear the Personnel Protective Equipment (P.P.E) i.e harness and lanyard attached to the lift. 14. Only contractor personnel with a certificate in rigging are allow to set up the equipment to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre s truss and will be monitored by AV KLCC. 15. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre prohibits the use of any lifts that operate on diesel fuel. Should there be public presence in the halls, only electrical lifts are allowed. 16. Once a rigging point is deemed at maximum weight capacity for items flown, no additional weight can be put on it. (Climbing personnel or equipment are not allowed) 17. Any load with a chain motor or other lifting device will be considered a dynamic load. All loads of this type must be hung straight no load will be hung at an angle. If there is no rigging point where a point is required, a high beam or truss will be installed to provide the desired rigging point. 18. No personnel will be allowed on the truss or any flown structure without a fall arrester device. 19. All rigging hardware, equipment, or show related items must be removed from the rigging points at the end of event. 20. Only the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre rigging truss is permitted to be attached the rigging points. (Kindly request for a quotation)
