Special Purpose Structures and Hangars

Grandstand Roof Structure

Due to the nature of lightweight tensioned structures, the ratio of applied load to self-weight is typically many times higher than that of conventional building systems. As a result, even small variations in wind or snow loads can significantly affect the sizing of structural elements and the resulting deformations.

Because of their minimal self-weight and curved geometry, membrane structures are especially sensitive to wind flow, which generates substantial uplift forces. These forces often exceed those caused by other types of imposed loads, except in regions with high snow accumulation, where membrane structures may experience comparable stress levels.

Hangars

Constructing traditional buildings for dry bulk storage often involves high costs. In certain environments, they may also be less durable than metal structures with textile coverings.

That’s why TENSIL ENGINEERING Ltd. develops custom solutions using various types of metal frameworks, offering an excellent alternative to conventional warehouse buildings. Hangars for dry bulk materials feature galvanized lattice steel frames, which are lightweight and covered with high-tech laminated PVC membrane coatings, tightly stretched over the steel frame, resulting in a highly robust structure.

Aviation

Hangars are extremely easy to deploy, highly flexible, durable, and relocatable, making them a “standard solution” for the needs of numerous armed forces around the globe.

The aviation sector is well known for adopting Fabric Hangar Structures, which serve a wide range of purposes. These include aircraft hangars, air cargo facilities, ground service buildings, luggage storage zones, helicopter hangars, terminals, sealed buildings, and more.

Biogas

Highly volatile explosive substances such as biogas can only be stored in containers that ensure maximum safety. PVC-coated fabric covers for gas tanks are ideal for this purpose, thanks to the specialized structure of the textile and its compliance with rigorous safety standards.

In the biogas production industry, PVC membrane fabrics are widely used as inner membranes in double-membrane structures. PVC fabric is also utilized for covers on biogas digesters, seals and covers for biosludge, and municipal and industrial wastewater storage tanks.

The material is particularly resistant to agricultural waste. Its exceptional gas impermeability prevents unpleasant odors during the required temporary storage of fermenting raw materials.

Container-Mounted Structures

Container-mounted structures originated from the Australian mining sector and have evolved through European engineering excellence.

By using containers as stable platforms, we create adaptable structures fitted with UV-stabilized fabric membranes, offering reliable protection from wind, rain, snow, and chemical exposure. These membranes also allow sufficient natural daylight, enabling efficient daytime operation without the need for artificial lighting.

This configuration allows for fast deployment, relocation, and long-term durability — a practical solution for industries where mobility meets resilience.
