Our Range of Professional Services.
Pre-Construction Design Services
Design Assistance
To ensure the successful realization of tensile structure projects, Span Systems provides comprehensive design assistance from the initial conceptualization phase through the entire design development process. We offer expert support to design teams and construction/program management guiding them in refining their ideas and translating them into practical, constructible solutions that meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.
Project Budgeting
Span Systems can provide conceptual budgeting at the earliest stages of the project. As the design develops, GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) pricing can be provided to meet project budget requirements. This ensures cost predictability and allows for informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
Project Schedule
Every project benefits from a detailed review, resulting in a well-timed, efficient schedule precisely tailored to its unique demands. Our complete, full-service approach allows us to create schedules that not only satisfy but also surpass your project expectations, guaranteeing a seamless process and the best possible results.
Construction Methods
Working with the contractor, Span Systems will assist in developing construction solutions and means and methods for installing your tensile structure. We take into account site access, equipment availability, labor requirements, and schedule constraints. This collaborative approach ensures a smooth and efficient installation process, optimizing resource utilization and minimizing potential challenges. By considering all these factors, we tailor the construction process to the specific demands of each project, guaranteeing a successful outcome.
Turn-Key Design/Build Capabilities
In-House Design Development
Span System’s in-house team of engineers and designers collaborate with clients throughout the design development phase. We present material samples, design options, and renderings to transform a client's vision into a unique design. This early design support empowers the project's architects and structural engineers to identify the most effective details for an efficient tensile fabric structure. We prioritize the use of sustainable building materials, such as PTFE-coated fiberglass and non-inflatable ETFE film installations.
Project Engineering
Span Systems' team of specialized engineers works with the latest, most advanced and powerful design software systems and modeling technology. Through rigorous engineering analysis and peer review, Span Systems delivers comprehensive details, including reaction loads, connection specifics, member sizing, interface details, and construction methodologies. As a result, Span Systems can provide an efficient, unique tensile fabric structure that is second to none in the market.
Installation
As a leading expert in textile architecture, for 30 years Span Systems boasts substantial experience in constructing tensioned membrane structures globally. Our design-build expertise allows us to efficiently manage projects of all sizes, from transportation facilities to large amphitheaters and everything in between. Following project approval and completion of design development, fabrication, and testing phases, our project managers and engineers work closely with the general contractor. They thoroughly examine construction methodologies, coordinate assembly procedures, and schedule installations, ensuring a smooth process. This integrated approach optimizes the final structure's quality while adhering to timelines and budgets.
Service and Preventative Maintenance
Our commitment to customer service continues long after a project is complete. Span Systems provides clients with a comprehensive range of post-project resources and support to help maintain the beauty and performance of their structures. Building owners can contract with us to ensure their installations look just as stunning years later as they did the day the final steel, cable, or tensile fabric panel was set in place.
Our services very from routine cleaning to full structural assessments and management of design integrity.
