PowerQuick Ascender Debuts at Historic Proctor Theater
The challenge: How to perform ceiling repairs on a 60-ft
high domed ceiling in the historic Proctor's Theater in
Schenectady NY without removing seats, installing
scaffolding and shutting down the theater during the
repairs.
Built in 1925 by Frederick Francis Proctor, the 2,700 seat
theater is undergoing total restoration.
The solution: The PowerQuick Powered
Ascender. Prize Construction of
Scotia, N.Y. proposed
PowerQuick as a cost-
effective method to perform
repairs quickly and safely.
"We received the
PowerQuick in the
morning, conducted
training, and by the
end of the day
completed our first
task," said Prize
President Ed Zemeck.
Matia Restoration &
Design, Artur Matia,
conducted the plaster
restoration.
Production Resource Group
(PRG), the PowerQuick
Distributor for the entertainment
industry, is also providing lighting
support for the renovation.
Proctor’s Theater
Climbing ropes were attached to the
roof infrastructure through small holes
in the ceiling. After the repairs they
were plugged with decorative
fixtures that complimented the
design.
