For example, many proscenium theaters have a series of two or more catwalks running parallel to the proscenium arch above a false ceiling.
The entire project, requiring 100,000 tons of structural steel, was expected to cost $6.2 billion as of July 2005, up from a 1997 estimate of $1.1 billion (for a simple viaduct) and a March 2003 estimate of $2.6 billion that included a tower span.

Temporary suspended walkways, called catwalks, are then erected using a set of guide wires hoisted into place via winches positioned atop the towers. These catwalks follow the curve set by bridge designers for the main cables, in a path mathematically described as a catenary arc.
This invention provided suspended ceiling construction in which access may readily be obtained at any desired location. Patent Number US 2,984,946 A was granted on May 23, 1961. [ 5 ] Brown has sometimes been credited as being the inventor of the dropped ceiling [ 6 ] even though other patents preceded his, as shown in the table below.
