Shelterspan

Based on our experience with lightweight structures and project management, various industrial facilities have been designed and built. The built examples have been based on our development with Peter Rice of Ove Arup and Partners for Shelterspan of an aluminium frame and fabric structure. These have been exploited for several different types of use:

- Warehousing

- Baggage handling

- Indoor sports and club facilities

- Exhibition

- Community centres

- Military

Most were erected in England, including the GLC Inner London area, as well as in Canada and Scandinavia at a constructed average cost of £2.50/sq ft!
