The Houston Rodeo Star Stage

Houston Rodeo Stage at NRG Stadium

For the Houston Rodeo Star Stage at NRG Stadium, we supported the design review and safety assessment of the mobile, star-shaped performance platform, including its 48-foot turntable, hydraulically actuated star points, and LED-equipped light towers. Our entertainment engineers evaluated custom and rental equipment and provided life-safety recommendations and engineering calculations to confirm structural and mechanical adequacy for safe operation.

Construction Engineering + Event Infrastructure

Stadium projects often require detailed construction planning and temporary works to support installation and operations. We provide construction engineering services including:

Renovations, Upgrades + Facility Improvements

We support the modernization and expansion of existing stadiums and arenas, helping extend facility life and improve functionality. Our services include structural upgrades, system retrofits, and engineering solutions that minimize disruption to ongoing operations.
