Peter Hind joins Total Structures as VP Engineering

Total Structures has announced the addition of Peter Hind to its team in Ventura CA. Hind is a professional structural engineer of some note and has 20 years experience in the entertainment industry. His early experience came with M A Richards and partners of London, and included the engineering of roof systems for the likes of Genesis, Bowie, McCartney and Clapton amongst others. For the past six years he’s been employed by sister company, Total Fabrications, in the UK and has been a significant contributor to the ESTA Technical Standards Committee responsible for writing ANSI standard E1.2 2000 Entertainment Technology Design, Manufacture and Use of Aluminum Truss and Towers Entertainment, as well as contributing to the development of a number of British standards. Last year saw the publication of his book ‘Aluminum Structures in the Entertainment Industry’, the fastest selling of a series published by the Entertainment Technology Press.

Ian Coles, president of Total Structures, told us: "I am delighted that Peter has chosen to join our team. His experience and professional qualifications will undoubtedly contribute to the company’s growing reputation as a leading temporary structures expert. His expertise will not simply be of benefit to the company, as I’m sure he will continue to make a significant contribution to the industry as a whole and will be keen to extend his role within ESTA’s Technical Standards Committee."
