GDSspecials design, build and manage all aspects of bespoke projects from Theatre, Television, Film, and corporate. The GDSspecials team is formed from industry experts in the art of creating and delivering reliable one offs and short run products. Using 3D CAD and rendering, the project can be formed, evaluated and changed as required before anything is physically built, saving clients time and money.

GDS has an extensive research and development program for its normal product manufacturing, a useful resource for fast proof of concept such as electronics, software or physical testing. Newly created workshops have a large capacity, with access to skilled engineers and technicians for the final build.

Working with trusted installation partners, GDSspecials division can produce exquisite installation projects from giant interactive sculptures to lighting design schemes.

The GDSspecials team are all industry experienced engineers, who understand the meaning of delivering to a deadline. All disciplines are in house ensuring good communication and efficient project completion.

Electronics

At the heart of certain projects is a requirement for reliable control electronics. Being able to design and produce electronics specific to the project brief results in exact specifications being met whilst offering considerable cost savings. In house PCB design and fast prototype turn around ensures electronics that do the exact job every time in a professional package without compromise.

Software

Any project requiring electronic or electrical integration will normally benefit from some process management. Internal software engineers produce software and firmware specific to the project quickly, enabling full testing prior to shipping. Resourcing your software development in house allows changes to be made very quickly, keeping each project flexible to your needs.

Mechanical

Our design engineers have many years experience in mechanical design and can deliver projects using just concept ideas or detailed engineering drawings. We work with local, national and international suppliers to source materials for each project. Due to our devise range of previous projects, we have experience working in many different materials for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Design

Delivering a custom project of any size requires good design. GDSspecials design engineers have considerable experience within the entertainment and installation sector. 3D CAD and rendering systems allow each project to be virtually tested to resolve any problems and reduce delays in project delivery. With each designer specialising in a specific discipline, the team as a whole form a powerful design entity that can create, reliable, well designed projects extremely fast.

Production

GDSspecials has a newly expanded facility for all types of projects from small control units to large set pieces. Our technicians and engineers undergo strict quality control training ensuring all aspects of the project are considered prior to shipping or installation. Project creation is aided by newly installed production equipment, further increasing efficiencies to achieve tight
deadlines.

Installation

Our manufacturing experience is put to good use with GDSspecials. We are able to supply each custom project designed, tested and delivered on time. Resource sharing with the GDS group results in reacting fast when working with limited timescales. Working with trusted installation partners, GDS can design and project manage your specialist requirement, ensuring clear and simple communication between all contractors.
