TENSION FABRIC ARCHITECTURE SERVICES

Design

DESIGN

The discovery phase of every project determines the success of the outcome. Our engineers and designers will work closely with your team to identify the practical and aesthetic requirements of the task. Ideas flow both ways during this process, so that the tensile structure design receives the benefit of combined thinking power.

FABRICATE

Structurflex’s experience with fabric manufacturing dates back to its ship sail-making days in the 1930s. We’ve come a long way and we continue to explore the most innovative design, engineering and manufacturing techniques.

Build

BUILD

After all the hard work in design, engineering and fabrication, it’s time to see the original vision come to reality! Structurflex installers are highly trained and very specialized. It takes a special knowledge to build a fabric structure in the proper way.

“Structurflex was brought on board early, as a design-assist partner on the Rio Tinto stadium to provide input on fabric (PTFE and coated-PES) options, cost and budget data, connection detailing, and wind and snow loading concerns. They worked hand-in-hand with both the structural engineer and steel fabricator throughout the design and shop drawing stages, so that any issues with connections, ice dams, snow guards, gutters, etc. were handled in the 3D modeling phase, and not out in the field where it could impact this critical path activity.”

TENSILE FABRIC STRUCTURE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

A substantial part of Structurflex engineering and design activity is dedicated to conceptual design. Once the big idea is right, we add the detail required to turn vision into reality. Our design team will be thoroughly conversant with the building control rules that apply to your location, so you can be confident that there won’t be any expensive re-designing down the track for your fabric structure.

Our designers actively participate in tensile structure design forums, to ensure they get the stimulus and input required to push boundaries. Continuous improvement is embedded in our culture, and that means that our commercial canopies and other tensile structures can offer the maximum benefit.

 

TENSILE STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION

Implementation of your solution draws on other resources within our skill base. Our installation teams are experienced, precise and dedicated to on-time delivery. You can trust us to adhere to the highest quality standards and to ensure the longevity and ongoing usefulness of your tensile membrane structure.

“Seventeen service stations were constructed within a very short period in localities ranging from Wellington to Auckland. All stations were to be ready for opening at the same time. This required significant effort by Structurflex to ensure the supporting steel framework and fabric canopies were fabricated, delivered to each site and erected in accord with the program and our client’s expectations.”

MAINTENANCE

Structurflex can design and deliver a post-project maintenance program to keep your tensile structure safe, clean and attractive.

Most of our commercial tensile canopy and tension membrane structures have a lifespan in excess of 25 years, provided they are well-maintained.

KieranTimberlake: Printed Tensile Cladding at Rice University


We are pleased to have collaborated with KieranTimberlake and the outfit of a parking structure on the Rice University Campus. In their blog post, they describe the concepts they employed to create an iconic sculptural element. For more details see the KieranTimberlake blog post.





The Increasing Importance of Durability


While tensile fabric has several distinct advantages over more traditional materials like glass, one of the most important may be its ability to withstand severe weather events. Our tensile structures and tensile facades  in Miami, Jacksonville, Houston, Fort Worth, Waco, and Atlanta did not sustain any damage or require any repair despite enduring events ranging […]
