The City of Honolulu had the desire to bring larger shows to the outdoor theater. The structure that was designed and placed in cooperation with Total Structures now makes this possible. Total Structures was responsible for the production of the custom structure that was installed in May 2021. It consists of two large arcs connected by bridges with a profile height of 4’, a width of 3’ 2’’ and is constructed out of 4’’ main chords, 2’’ diagonals, and includes 2’’ underhung members for additional lighting positions. Down below, side lighting trusses of 12×12 LD truss were installed. The total self-weight of the system is about 16,000 lbs.

The truss includes an internal lifeline in all members for safely traversing the system. Self-retracting lifelines are included in both upstage and downstage bridges for transitioning between arcs.

Overall dimensions:

• Downstage – Width 98’ (29.8m) – Height 46’ 7” (14.2m)
• Upstage – Width 72’ (21.9m) – Height 32’ 7” (9.9m)
• Bridges – Span 38’ 6” (11.7m) – Cantilever 14’ 8” (4.4m) – Interior Span 22’ (6.7m)
• Truss Profile – Height 4’ (1.2m), Width 3’ 2” (0.9m) with 4” (101.6mm) main chords and 2” (50.8mm) diagonals and includes 2” underhung members for additional lighting positions.
• Side lighting trusses are 12×12 LD truss

The manufacturing plant and offices of Total Structures INC in Ventura California remains as is and was already upgraded in 2019 and fully equipped for growth and expansion. The moving of the Knoxville Operation into a new building has no effect on the Ventura Operation.

Total Structures INC is pleased to announce the opening of its new office in the center of Knoxville TN. The new modern building will host the sales department, the technical department and the administration. The new office space provides more capacity for customer support, engineering, sales and services and leadership functions. The new offices enables Total Structures to showcase and host clients to witness its state-of-the-art solutions and products and contributes to the project management among specialists.

“We were fortunate to find such a nice and well-served space. We really wanted to limit the impact that relocation could have on our clients and our employees. I don’t think we could have found a better location for our team. Our new location and enhanced operational efficiencies will help us continue to grow and develop to keep pace with our clients’ needs, allowing us to provide exceptional value and superior service along the way,” said Scott Johnson, CEO of Total Structures INC.

An update in The Netherlands based main factory was necessary to cope with the high-pressure market as with the current economic situation everybody is ready to make investments. Therefore we have made various investments in our machine park such as a brand new extra state of the art cutting street, various welding benches and we stay investing in our staff by educating welders to through internal courses.

Semi automated cutting line

Every success has a beginning, within Eurotruss production facility an accurate and perfect product starts with a perfectly cut main tube and bracings. By investing in a complete new semi automated cutting line, Eurotruss managed to double its capacity for cutting. The new machine also allows us to cut different angles at the same tube both sides, which makes it highly advanced and very efficient.

New welding benches

Eurotruss always aims for the best product, the most efficient production process and a healthy working environment for its staff. With our new developed welding benches, we achieve all of these aspects. Besides that; it is also increasing our production capacity as the number of welding spots has significantly grown.

Eurotruss has also extended its department for truss lengths smaller than 200cm, as five separate welding spots have been developed for these smaller pieces. Again; more efficiency and more capacity.

Education of (new) staff

Eurotruss always aims to work with the best welders, however finding good aluminium welders is not so easy these days. This has lead to the development of a Eurotruss Welding Program to educate young people to become successful welders. They can either be sourced within the company or outside the company. By setting up a marketing campaign at schools and public employment services we source motivated people to start up a welding course at Eurotruss and train them to be outstanding welders!

Eurotruss is extremely happy with its amazing production team worldwide, all the effort and speed they put in, gives us the possibility to create and deliver the most reliable and safe products made with ultimate precision.
