The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints completed the 2-year renovation of their 140-year-old Tabernacle building in Temple Square, Salt Lake City, in March 2007. The Tabernacle was built in the 1860s but now contains some of the most technically advanced lighting, sound and automation systems ever installed in a house of worship. Stage Technologies installed a 24-axis automation control system to enable the same high level of flexibility and safety as a modern performing arts venue.
Stage Technologies were responsible for overseeing the entire rigging installation at the Tabernacle. 14 BigTow390 winches were installed to control lighting trusses and speaker clusters. BigTow290 winches were also installed to automate 7 large chandeliers. This allows the chandeliers to be lowered to a safe working height to be maintained and cleaned, while 3 BigTow200 winches are used to carry personnel up to the organ loft for maintenance and cleaning of their world famous 11,623-pipe organ.
