A closer look at the flame control system that was behind The Greatest Showman at Bristol Hippodrome 🔥

For this production, we supplied a range of custom flame effects across the stage, all fed from a central gas distribution wall panel.

Designed to supply and control 15 individual flame heads, the system allowed the production team to remotely manage multiple effects from a single location. Each regulator could be independently adjusted to provide the correct gas pressure for the specific flame effect it was supplying.

The panel also incorporated a range of safety features, including manual isolation valves, non-return valves, dual emergency shut-off valves linked to an E-Stop system, and a dedicated gas detection and alarm system.

By centralising both control and monitoring, the production team could operate multiple flame effects efficiently, reliably, and with safety at the forefront!
