Public Art
Event Engineering provides technical expertise for temporary and permanent public artworks—from concept and fabrication to installation and decommissioning. We collaborate with artists, councils, and institutions to deliver structurally sound, logistically efficient works that honour creative vision and meet engineering standards. Our portfolio includes landmark projects like Halo and collaborations with artists such as Janet Echelman and Daniel Boyd, each reflecting our commitment to integrity, artistry, and precision in the public realm.
PERMANENT PUBLIC ARTWORK
We've contributed to some of Australia's most iconic permanent public artworks, providing the structural expertise and logistical planning to bring large-scale creative visions into the public realm.
TEMPORARY ARTWORK
We specialise in technically complex temporary installations that demand innovative rigging, rapid deployment, and structural precision—without compromising the artist's vision.
OUR PUBLIC ART SERVICES
We work closely with artists, curators, and commissioning bodies from the earliest stages, offering expert advice on feasibility, materials, compliance, and engineering strategy—ensuring the creative vision is supported by practical solutions.
ART CONSULTATION
Our team provides detailed structural and mechanical design services, including CAD documentation, modelling, and engineering certification. We tailor each design to suit the artwork’s scale, location, materials, and performance requirements.
DESIGN
We coordinate and oversee the fabrication of artworks, working with trusted partners to ensure that components are manufactured to specification, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
FABRICATION
Our experienced project managers and site teams handle the logistics, equipment, and safety requirements necessary for smooth, compliant installation—whether in public spaces, galleries, or temporary locations.
INSTALLATION
We provide tailored maintenance strategies for permanent and temporary works, helping clients manage long-term care, wear, and public safety while preserving the artwork’s integrity.
MAINTENANCE
Our comprehensive O&M manuals include maintenance schedules, safety procedures, operating guidelines, and compliance documentation, ensuring ongoing care and regulatory readiness.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUALS
We manage the safe packing, handling, and transport of artwork components locally and internationally, with logistics plans tailored to fragile or oversized elements.
TRANSPORTATION
Event Engineering offers secure, short- and long-term storage solutions for artworks or components during fabrication, transit, or decommissioning phases.
STORAGE
When a project concludes, we provide structured decommissioning services including dismantling, removal, asset recovery, and documentation—ensuring a respectful and efficient end-of-life process for temporary works.
