Making every build feasible and structurally safe.

Every beautiful spatial idea still has to stand on a correct structure. Phúc owns the part nobody sees but everything depends on: loads, connections, deflection and safety factors for what Chạm AI builds, from event stages and backdrops to LED rigging, display shelving and retail partitions.

The industry habit is to estimate from experience. Phúc's approach is to run the numbers before anything goes up: the real mass of the equipment, the truss span, anchor points and wind load for outdoor builds. A 20 m² LED wall can exceed 500 kg, and a mistake here has no second chance.

This work sits next to the spatial design and events teams, so concept drawings get a feasibility check early instead of failing on site.

Responsibilities

Core work

Load assessment

Calculating equipment mass, distributed loads and safety factors for floors, ceilings and rigging points before build.

Truss & rigging systems

Choosing truss type, span and anchor count for LED walls, lighting and stage backdrops.

On-site safety

Structural sign-off before doors open: bolt torque, secondary safeties, wind plan for outdoor events.

Design feasibility

Reviewing concept drawings, flagging what cannot be built and proposing alternatives that keep the look.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

What does a structural engineer do on an event or retail project?

Quick summary: Phúc is the structural engineer at Chạm AI Agency, responsible for the safety and feasibility of everything that gets built: stages, LED rigging, backdrops, display units and retail partitions. The work covers real load calculation, truss and anchor selection, wind load for outdoor builds, and structural sign-off before an event opens. The goal is turning a design idea into something that can actually be built, on time and safely.

Why does an event need a structural engineer, not just a build crew?

A build crew works from experience; an engineer works from numbers. A 20 m² LED wall can exceed 500 kg before you add framing, lighting and speakers on the same point. When total load passes what the ceiling or truss can carry, failure happens in seconds and cannot be undone.

What matters most when rigging an LED wall?

Three things: the true mass of the modules multiplied by area, the truss span between anchor points, and the capacity of the building structure. Outdoor events must add wind load, because an LED face is a large wind catcher.

Does structural review blow up the event budget?

Review costs far less than changing the plan on site. Catching a bad rigging point at drawing stage takes hours; catching it on show day means renting extra equipment or dropping the element.
