KLA-AHA
Short-duration projector infrastructure build at KLA-AHA involving field planning, customer coordination, projector support installation, and commissioning support across a small multi-projector deployment.
This was a relatively short job, about a week in duration, that I worked on with Dave, who led the project. The scope was straightforward: build out the infrastructure for a small group of projectors, coordinate closely with the customer, and move from planning through installation quickly without a lot of formal engineering support.
A big part of the job was simply being able to organize the work efficiently. Dave and I received the equipment from the shop, staged the material, and planned the installation around the customer's specific requirements rather than relying on a fully developed set of drawings. That meant the work depended more on field judgment, communication, and clean execution than on following a heavily engineered package step by step.
Material Intake And Planning
Before installation started, we received the project material from the shop and laid out what would be needed for the projector locations. Because the job was small and moved quickly, the planning phase mattered. It set the order of operations for the structure, projector penetrations, support hardware, and final device installation.
This kind of project is a good reminder that even a short build benefits from being organized at the front end. When the planning is clean, the field work becomes mostly a matter of execution rather than backtracking.

Projector Structure Installation
Once the locations were worked out, I laid out the structure, cut in the opening for the projector, and installed the unit strut and associated support hardware. That included the support brackets and the aircraft cable work required to secure the assembly properly. After the first location was completed, the remaining projector positions followed the same pattern.
The work itself was not unusually complicated, but it is a good example of how quickly a small team can move when the scope is understood, the field conditions are manageable, and the communication with the customer stays direct.

Finished Room And Commissioning Support
After the physical installation was complete, the commissioner came in and we worked with them to make sure the system was where it needed to be. That final handoff was simple, but it matters because it shows the job was not just built quickly, it was also carried through to a usable finished condition.
Overall, this was a short and efficient build that shows solid field execution: receive material, plan the work, build the structure, repeat the pattern across the remaining locations, and support final commissioning without unnecessary drag.
