Tensile

Fortress provides turnkey design, engineering, fabrication and installation services. Fortress can meet a customer’s needs across the spectrum of Tensile Architecture. These installations create civic pride, facilitate community gatherings and create welcoming spaces for business, recreation, and tourism.

To meet more utilitarian needs, Frame Supported TFS serve as warehouses, mining workshops, vehicle maintenance shelters, aircraft hangars, sports facilities and any other function that benefits from weather protection. Fortress Fabric Structures works with your team to develop a cost-efficient concept, ensures that the TFS meets environmental, dynamic and static loads, fabricates the TFS using AISC-accredited processes. Fortress will collaborate with the Customer’s team for transportation and can provide on-site Field Engineering Support services (sometimes called Tech Rep services).

Tension Fabric Structures are incredibly diverse and they can make almost any space more efficient and compelling for its purpose. TFS foundations are almost as varied as the structures themselves and include adhesive epoxy anchors in purpose-built concrete foundations, helical anchors in soil or gravel, or fixed atop Conex boxes that provide instant storage in addition to the shelter provided by the TFS fabric membrane. This means that almost any site is suitable for adding a TFS element to enhance the aesthetic aspects of your venue or quickly adding robust shelter to a process.

A quality TFS will have a service life measured in decades with minimal maintenance. With experience working in Guyana, let Fortress Fabric Structures’ team help with your TFS journey. Using in-house design and CAD capability, we can assist with your concept or propose a design for a Tensile or Frame Supported fabric structure that will exceed your expectations.
