01 / SITE REQUIREMENT

Client & Site Challenge

Architectural tension membrane structures require certified, rust-proof hardware engineered to withstand dynamic wind gusts and thermal expansion without loss of pre-stress.

02 / SCOPE OF WORK

Delivered Scope of Work

  • ✓Structural load testing and node stress concentration analysis
  • ✓CNC machining and plasma cutting of connection gusset plates
  • ✓Swaging and testing of high-strength stainless steel perimeter wire ropes
  • ✓Calibration of high-load stainless turnbuckles and clevis pins
  • ✓Quality inspection of high-frequency thermal welded membrane seams
03 / MATERIAL & STRUCTURAL SOLUTION

Material & Engineering Specification

Marine Grade 316 stainless steel turnbuckles, wire ropes, and fork terminals combined with laser-cut heavy structural steel connection plates.

Machined smooth radius corners on all clamp bars and corner plates eliminate point-stress concentrations and prevent membrane tearing during high winds.

04 / WORK PROCESS

Installation & Work Process

01

Rigging perimeter wire ropes through fabric edge sleeves in workshop

02

Attaching corner clevis brackets to mast connection lugs

03

Applying calibrated torque to turnbuckles with tension gauges

04

Final lock-nut tightening and weather-sealing of connection points

CHALLENGES & MITIGATION

Engineering Challenges Solved

Preventing localized stress risers at membrane corner plates. Solved with articulated multi-axis swivel fittings that adapt to live wind movement.
