Client & Site Challenge
The facility needed an imposing yet functional covered walkway connecting visitor drop-off zones to main building entrances to protect staff and visitors during monsoon storms and intense summer heat.
Delivered Scope of Work
- ✓Laser survey of walkway length, door clearances, and facade attachment points
- ✓Structural engineering of arched portal frames with integrated water drainage slopes
- ✓Fabrication of heavy tubular steel arches and facade tie-in brackets
- ✓Application of multi-layer anti-corrosion primer and industrial topcoat
- ✓Anchoring to reinforced concrete lintels with chemical anchors
- ✓Fastening and tensioning architectural membrane roof panels
Material & Engineering Specification
Modular tubular steel arch portals integrated with building facade brackets, roofed with high-translucency architectural tensile membrane.
The curved arch profile channels rainwater rapidly into designated discharge zones away from walking thresholds, preventing water pooling and splashing.
Installation & Work Process
Chemical anchor installation into concrete facade lintels and ground pads
Erection of modular steel arch portals with cross-bracing
Securing continuous aluminum clamping extrusions along the rafters
Installing and tensioning high-frequency welded membrane sheets
Engineering Challenges Solved
Executing the installation over an active pedestrian pathway without disrupting daily business operations. Handled through off-peak night shifts and pre-fabricated modular frame segments.
GM Tensile Concepts Expertise Applied
Facade integration bracket design, precision tube bending, and rapid on-site assembly techniques.
Project Outcome
A reliable, weather-tight pedestrian corridor providing 100% rain and sun protection while delivering an impressive visual arrival statement.
