Industrial Shade Structures Abu Dhabi

Yes. For industrial sites in Abu Dhabi, including Mussafah, ICAD and the logistics areas around the airport and ports, we set the clear height of each shade structure to suit the heaviest vehicles and equipment that will use it, so trucks, trailers and mobile cranes pass underneath easily. Columns are positioned away from turning circles and vehicle routes, and wide spans using cantilever or tensile designs keep yards open. We study vehicle movements on site before designing, and recommend protective guards around columns where there is a risk of impact. Integrated lighting can also be added so the yard can be used safely at night.

Yes. All membranes used in our commercial and industrial shade structures in Abu Dhabi pass strict international fire-retardancy tests, such as the B1 and M2 classifications. The fabric resists ignition and does not spread flame, which is essential over loading areas, workshops and vehicle bays. We supply fire certificates for the fabric with every project, as Civil Defence, insurers and facility managers typically require. For structures near hot processes or fuel storage, we can advise on separation distances or recommend steel sheeting instead of fabric.

Our engineers design reinforced concrete footings for each Abu Dhabi industrial shade from the site's soil report and wind loads. Abu Dhabi's ground is often sandy, so footings are sized to resist uplift and overturning as well as vertical loads. We check drawings and scan for buried services before excavating, because industrial sites typically have cables, pipes and drainage below the yard. Where columns must stand on an existing slab, we assess its capacity and add new footings beneath if needed. Work is planned around operations, with excavations fenced off.

Yes. Drop-down PVC curtains or corrugated steel cladding can be added to the sides of our industrial shade structures in Abu Dhabi, for security and protection from weather and dust. PVC curtains roll up for ventilation and drop down to block sun, sand and rain. Steel cladding with roller shutters turns the structure into a secure, enclosed storage building or workshop. Mesh panels are an option where airflow is needed. Because enclosed sides catch more wind, we design the frame and foundations for the additional load from the start. Enclosures can also be added later if your needs change.
