The team had to cover an event footprint of 2.5 miles, installing two audio/video support structures, two lighting support towers and two 122ft x 80ft audience viewing platforms with video support platforms built at the rear.

In one of the biggest event-building operations ever, Stageco shipped in nearly half a million tons of scaffolding on 28 flatbed trucks from all over the USA.

"This is one of the most historic presidential elections in the history of the United States," said Stageco vice president of US operations Mary Lou Figley,. "It is an honour and the highest privilege for Stageco to be involved on such a large scale in the events marking this historical day. We are all proud of the work we have done and this event will stay with us as we move forward."
