Glyndebourne
Opera House in East Sussex has a new control system for its
three electrical bridges, supplied and installed by AVW Controls. The system, an upgrade of that
installed seven years ago, provides Glyndebourne with
absolute control of the bridges, each of which weighs seven
tonnes and is capable of lifting 2.5 tonnes. Rather than
disrupt the production schedule, the work was completed
during the first two weeks of December 2000, while the Opera
was on tour. The upgrade was the second phase of a contract
originally undertaken by AVW as a sub-contractor to the
erstwhile Glantre Engineering, the first phase of which
involved upgrade work on the bridges themselves. Following
Glantre's demise, Glyndebourne contacted AVW direct, and is
very pleased with the results. Dave Locker, technical manager, said: "We are absolutely delighted with the
new control system which AVW has supplied and installed.
Being easy to use, staff have been able to assimilate the
new system quickly, reducing the amount of time needed for
training."
