Safety
Capital Pyrotechnics maintains complete adherence to NRCan ERD guidelines to ensure safety and security of our staff, clients, spectators, and the public. Our staff are required to follow our policies and procedures documentation which are updated and reviewed annually. We work in tandem with the client for security detail and safety zone barricades and provide safety zone perimeter signage in multiple languages along with adequate safety taping to identify restricted zones during an event.
All staff are required to wear appropriate PPE gear during display execution and employees are required to pass various training and hold certifications based on the equipment they operate.
Insurance
Capital Pyrotechnics carries up to 10 million dollars in liability insurance and cover all staff through WSIB insurance coverage.
Mortars and Racks
All mortars we use are FRE (Fiberglass reinforced epoxy) as the standard mortar material supported by NRCan – ERD. Mortars and equipment are inspected after each use for faults and quality assurance.
Racks are custom built and designed to handle product failures in the mortar. Design considers consistent sizing across all calibers which allows field deployments with stability using tight side bracing.
Barge Equipment
Capital Pyrotechnics owns and operates our own barge equipment for select marine-based display locations. The equipment is certified and registered with Transport Canada and built to compliance specifications for this purpose. The equipment is maintained and tested yearly for safety and reliability. We also rent certified barge equipment as needed from trusted rental companies.
We have on staff certified barge operators that carry MED-A3, SVOP, and ROC-M radio certifications to operate marine commercial vessels.
Firing Systems
We have used a large variety of firing systems in the industry over the years and standardized on a combination of FireOne and Cobra firing systems. Offering numerous firing methods, fully scripted shows, music and timecode synchronization, and 1000’s of cues in the field, we can deploy an extremely versatile solution that can be applied to many different setups with both wired and wireless capabilities.
