In September 2007, Eide Industries, Inc.
manufactured and supervised the installation of
thirty-nine tensioned panels above the parking
lots for the Springs Preserve for the Las Vegas Valley Water District.
The LVVWD, Huntington Design Associations, Inc.
(structural engineer) and Powerlight
Corporation (Photovoltaic Contractor) wanted
to attach tensioned fabric beneath steel frames
for aesthetics and to increase light reflection
to the lower sides of solar photovoltaic array
panels.
Standard white Ferrari Precontraint 492 mesh
fabric served the dual purpose of resonating
solar energy and providing shade protection for
the combined 39,000 square foot coverage area. A
variety of galvanized and PVC sheathed steel
cabling, stainless steel, membrane plates and
clamp bars provided the tensioned support at
engineered pick-up points along the perimeter
for each panel.
Eide Industries’ project management, in-house
fabrication capabilities and experienced
professional staff successfully delivered the
project ahead of schedule.
• Ferrari Precontraint 492 mesh fabric provided
shade protection and reflected solar energy to
solar photovoltaic array panels.
• Thirty-nine (39) tensioned mesh panels were
mounted to existing parking lot steel framed
structures.
• Each panel was engineered with four to six
attachment points for the cable supported
perimeter.
• Eide Industries’ project management,
fabrication and installation experience
delivered the project ahead of schedule.
• Overall approximate combined coverage area is
39,000 square feet.
• Thirty-nine (39) tensioned fabric panels
ranging in size from 36'x25' to 36'x30'.
• Four (4) to six (6) engineered pick-up points
along the perimeter of each panel. |
