Problem-solving process

 

When our clients approach us to solve their problems, the EPS team customizes and applies our problem-solving process to address the needs of the project, no matter how big or small.

Problem


With a clear understanding of the client’s vision, our team begins addressing the problem—whether it is designing a unique mechanical system or integrating multiple special effects show systems all within a tight project timeline. We bring decades of experience in technical direction and project management, ensuring that we can manage the most capable and diverse teams to achieve the project goal. Through a complete conceptual design process, EPS works alongside its clients to outline the scope before advancing to a solution.

  • Conceptual Design

Solution


Because no two problems are ever alike, each solution we present is customized to the demands of the project. When we propose a solution to our clients, our team at EPS has evaluated that concept through preliminary testing and mechanical modeling. We offer our technical consulting services to solve complex problems, delivering motion studies and horsepower calculations so that our clients have a better understanding of their systems and the resources needed to support them. For operators that are looking to enhance their venue with special attractions, we also conduct facility impact studies to better manage their expectations before installation or maintenance.

Implementation


When the solution comes together to meet the client’s vision, EPS begins implementation of the concept to make it a reality. Our detailed designs are developed with fabrication in mind, so that project build-outs are achievable and within budget. EPS translates those designs into full engineering drawings with the support of our project team, and through expert fabrication oversight, we offer full-circle project management. Our clients rest assured that every element of the project scope is seamlessly integrated—whether it is coordinated in-house or together with other vendors and sub-consultants.

  • Show Systems Integration
  • Rigging

Operation


After implementing the full project approach, EPS takes the lead on operation of the system—from installation to long-term maintenance. Our project managers direct site operations, documenting the project’s final build and initial testing. Owners and technicians rely on our professionals to provide training to their teams, and we equip them with technical manuals for operating their systems into the future. EPS also offers ongoing maintenance and inspections for technical systems, ensuring project owners a consistent guest experience year after year.

Through this established process, EPS' dedicated team of mechanical and electrical designers, engineers, project managers, artists, technicians, riggers, and installers help bring our clients' creative visions to life.
