Houston, TX - Flexible Lifeline Systems, Inc. today announced the successful completion of the rigging grid fall protection systems at the Berry Center in Houston, TX.

HOUSTON, TX, October 09, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The unique project involved the design and installation of Latchways cable-based fall arrest systems to protect riggers while servicing the Cirque du Soleil show.

The systems were designed, engineered and installed by Flexible Lifeline Systems on time and under budget. CY Fair ISD's Mr. Jim Vangorder stated, "We appreciate the prompt eagerness to assist the district with a need with a short deadline. We also appreciate the willingness to work around the schedule of the building to allow events to occur as scheduled."
