Design is consisted of of thirty-nine tensioned panels above the parking lots for the Springs Preserve for the Las Vegas Valley Water District.
Designer 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.
