How do we get it all done?

42” Plastic Billboard Barricade
Our number one site service product, the crowd control barricade was created to give you the safety you need with the advertising space you want. Interlock them together for a sturdy yet appealing wall or walkway and attach our custom signage to highlight sponsors, event rules, or the order of events for the day. The billboard barricade is sure to be a slam dunk for safety at any event and is our most-used product in production services.
Event Entrance Gate
We designed the event entrance gate with people in mind! We built it to increase the safety of any site or event: the gate is adaptable to any of our barricades and is often used as a secure, temporary access point for artists, VIPs, and more.
Vertical Panel
Sturdy and highly visible, the vertical panel is often chosen to help define event parking areas in large fields and parking lots, to establish or mark crosswalks, or to act as hazard indicators. The bright orange body with high-intensity reflective stripes makes it perfect for use day or night, and its hefty 20-pound base means it’ll stay put once placed.
42” Jersey Shape Barricade
Tried and true, the jersey shape barricade is a great choice for when an event needs more substantial definition and protection. These 80-pound barricades (up to 1,330 pounds when ballasted) can withstand just about anything and are easily transformed into private and secure areas with optional fence panels and mesh privacy screens.
Event Production Services
Pre-Event Production Services
How do you know where to begin when planning an event? At OTW, the plan’s foundation is always the site map. An aerial view of the site and corresponding sketch of safety measures will help ensure you have the proper number of barricades, give a clear understanding of the layout, and help create an excellent flow of foot traffic for guests.
Don’t leave anything to chance, leave the planning to the experts! We’ll work right alongside you [work with your needs in mind] to develop a comprehensive site map and an air-tight security plan, as well as a road closure plan, emergency plan, and incident action plan if you so desire. Our services can be as extensive or as limited as you wish: they can also include evaluation of first aid needs and hiring of a first aid team, coordination of rental equipment and services, development of a production schedule, arranging signage or marketing needs, and more. Once foundational plans are established and a site map is in place, the focus can shift to designing the venue and making use of available resources.
Through every step of the pre-event planning process, you’ll work closely with our events director to ensure the designs meet your logistical needs and promote the best overall experience for participants, attendees, and organizers alike!
Pre-Event Security Preparation
Our pre-event security services encompass every aspect of your future event: we’re here to help you plan for every possible outcome!
We can cover crowd control and traffic management, go in-depth on risk assessments, or create comprehensive incident action plans in case of unexpected emergencies. Need bag check operations planning, general pre-event consulting, or thorough emergency safety and security plans? Good preparation for event security is crucial, and we’ve got the know-how to help you manage every element of your security details from start to finish.
On-Site Production
Your event is planned and the big day arrives: for a smooth event, every detail must be in place. To help you pull it off, we’ll oversee your safety and security staff, coordinate all on-site vendors, execute the production schedule, and manage ‘coordinators’ over each program area.
On-site, we’ll handle barricades and signage and work with our partners to set up communication equipment, sound systems, trash and recycling areas, toilets, and first-aid sites. This is possible because of the relationships we have fostered with a variety of reliable service providers: we can get the items you need lined up and delivered to you at the right price, and we are confident that each vendor will add value to your event.
Stake & Strike
When we say we can handle your event from beginning to end, we mean it! When it’s time to stake the site, our team will prepare the event space for action. With the site map as our guide, every piece of the day will fall into place. Whether stages, toilets, barricades with sponsor signs, trash and recycling cans, tables, or food and beverage areas, each area will be set up precisely according to the plan.
During the event, we can manage food and water stations for volunteers, ensure equipment functions properly, and assist with coordinating event and security personnel. When the event closes, we’ll strike the OTW barricades and signs, as well as coordinate pick-up with equipment providers.
Operations
When the day of an event arrives, the organizers should have the chance to enjoy the outcome of their hard work instead of running around overseeing volunteers or staff or managing last-minute details.
With OTW Production Services, you don’t have to worry about overseeing special events personnel like credential checkers, ticket takers, ushers, or bag inspectors. The coordination of event personnel and control of the command center all fall within our expertise and we are committed to doing it right: our goal is to take all of the stress of operations off your plate so you can sit back and enjoy your well-planned event.
