Engineering Services

Design - Manufacturing - Installation

Eide Industries' engineering services include everything required to certify our tension structures with permitting authorities for stress, wind, snow and/or seismic activities.  These services include:
●  Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine reaction forces of the structure under simulated loads such as wind, gravity and pretension of cables.

●  Engineering calculations to ensure the structure is suitable for the loads in your city, whether its 90MPH Santa Ana winds in California or 146MPH hurricane winds in Florida.

●  Design and calculation of appropriate concrete footing sizes.
  Optimization of frame structure member sizing and anchoring.

  Precise fabric patterning of the tension structure membranes to ensure a tight and wrinkle free fit.

  Certified Engineering drawings and calculations suitable for state and local permitting authorities.

  Detailed and approved shop drawings for manufacturing.
