Tensile Membrane Structures and Tensile Fabric Facades

Tensile facades are an innovative, cost-effective way to incorporate screening and shading to office buildings, parking garages, and stadiums. These tensile materials are an economical alternative to perforated metal and metal mesh, at 50% of the cost of installed screening.

Tensile building envelopes have the ability to synthesize form, expression, and utility. They complement the existing architecture and natural environment, and are a more cost-effective solution.

Open air structures provide the best parts of an outdoor experience with protection from the elements. Whether you're designing a golf resort, amphitheatre, outdoor mall, or even a wharf, tensile membrane structures provide year-round protection from solar glare, heat, rain, and snow.

Whether a stadium or an indoor athletic facility, tensile fabric solutions create optimal environments for both spectators and athletes. From the optimization of daylight to shading and thermal control, there's no sport that can't benefit from tensile fabric.

Special use structures fabricated from tensile materials combine the thoughtful presence of a permanent structure with the economy, easy assembly, and mobility of a temporary structure.

Transform an interior space with sculpted tensile fabric elements. Lightweight and economical, tensile fabric can be customized to create a unique visual experience.

Tensile membranes are an ideal choice for iconic outdoor sculptures. They can be formed into almost any shape and retain their structure over time without any slacking or buckling.

Tensile fabrics can create solutions to common environmental disasters. Lightweight and easy to transport, tensile fabrics are ideal for rapidly creating easy-to-assemble command facilities and emergency response shelters in times of environmental crisis. Our experience designing, engineering, and fabricating oil booms, flexidams and tanks, waste containment bunds, and geomembranes means we can respond quickly and effectively.
