[QUOTE="Ben Gingerich, post: 13386, member: 2579"] So I recently left the Air Force and moved to Florida and took a job with a small install company, I have been working with them for about 2.5 months. The last 2 days I have been working with the owner and his son (first time working with either of them), and both days I have been very uncomfortable with the rigging that's been done at 2 different job sites and when i brought it up i wast told "I was whining and just do my tech stuff." I in no way claim to be a rigger, however i did take a class at infocomm a few years back and have done my fair share of events and installs. Normally those projects are simple unistrut, aircraft cable and proper grade 8 hardware. So maybe i don't know what i'm talking about, but I am kind of worried about the safety of these installs. Install one, we hung a single light bar with 2 led par can's and a 6 light led bar, we used 3/4in tapcons to anchor the bar to the concrete ceiling above a baptismal. I felt we should have drilled through and put a support above the ceiling at both anchor points. Install two, is the one that really bothered me. We installed a 30ft 2500lbs concrete poll with 3 JBL AWC159 outdoor speakers on it, from what i was told the hole had to be at least 5ft deep and no one seemed to know if they needed to pour concrete in the base, we could only dig down 4ft 4in due to a rock base that was in ground, they placed the poll anyway with no concrete. I am a little concerned should i be? [/QUOTE]
