  3. Delivered Rapid, Safe Broadcast-Ready Scaffolding for University Games 

For a national-scale multi-sport events, timing, safety, and precision mattered the most. Multiple sporting venues needed elevated platforms for Doordarshan’s live broadcast, and everything had to be installed, moved, and managed smoothly without affecting ongoing matches. 

The Challenge: Multiple Venues, Strict Timelines 

Each venue had different height needs, camera angles, and limited setup windows. The system had to be: 

  • Fast to install 
  • Easy to relocate 
  • Safe and completely stable 
  • Ready to handle continuous broadcasting demands 

Any delay could impact live coverage quality. So, reliability and speed had to work together. 

The Solution: Custom Aluminum Mobile Scaffolding Towers 

Y Equipment Services supplied and installed 48 aluminum mobile scaffolding towers across: 
Football | Hockey | Lawn Tennis | Badminton | Athletics 

The towers were deployed at heights ranging from 8 ft to 40 ft, designed to support: 

  • Elevated HD camera positioning 
  • Broadcast lighting setups 
  • Technical monitoring points 
  • Production vantage locations 

Each tower could be installed in 10–15 minutes, dismantled in under 10 minutes, and relocated within 12–18 minutes, allowing quick reconfiguration between events without interrupting schedules.
