Spring Awakening 2018

Overview

This project was taken on by Yesha Subotincic West. There was a truck of Victorian style lockers that was intended to be used to mimic a shower effect when the doors are opened. The effect was cut during tech due to the sight lines.

Equipment

We ended up just needing 3 corners, the 2 reducers and 1 non return valve. This was partly due to the difference in build of the truck from the drawing and also not having worked with pipe before.
