This Washington D.C. Rooftop Canopy
Tension Structure is located on the 10th floor
rooftop of a commercial building in our nation’s
capitol, Washington, D.C. Eide Industries, Inc.
was selected to design, engineer, fabricate and
install the fabric structure on an accelerated
schedule. With a concerted streamlined effort,
Eide was able to meet the client’s expectations
and installation deadline.
The new building has been certified at the
Silver level with the U.S. Green Building
Council’s LEED building rating system. This
particular Tension Structure offers two specific
environmentally friendly qualities. First of
all, the PVC fabric membrane is 100% recyclable.
In addition, with a solar reflection factor of
78%, the membrane helps to reduce the city’s
“heat island”. Consequently, this cuts back on
the duration of air conditioning usage in those
hot summer months.
• Size is approximately 16’ x 28’ for a plan
area of 448 square feet.
• Fabric membrane is Ferrari Textiles 1002-T2
PVC fabric.
• Center frame in membrane is Stainless Steel
and measures 3’ x 5’ in plan.
• Stainless Steel Cables and Fittings were
manufactured by Ronstan International. |
