Sprung Structures (Sprung) is the inventor and manufacturer of the tensioned membrane structure, which is engineered to quickly and economically accommodate the need for enclosed spaces.
Fabric buildings for aviation applications
Sprung structures are ideal for a wide range of airport operations, such as customisable baggage handling operations and temporary building connections.
Fabric buildings are also suitable for storing large pieces of machinery and specialist vehicles. Due to their resistant structure, high R-value insulation system and easy reconfiguration, snow removal equipment and emergency response vehicles are protected from adverse weather conditions and temperatures.
Cost-effective permanent or temporary airport structures
Sprung’s innovative building solution incorporates architectural membrane panels placed under high tension with a corrosion-resistant aluminium substructure.
An optional high-performance, energy-efficient Johns Manville formaldehyde-free insulation package is available.
Features include:
- Quick delivery and construction
- Widths from 9.1m to 60.9m (30ft to 200ft) by any length
- Large variety of cargo and hangar doors available
- Energy-efficient insulation package
- Relocatable clear span design
- Limited foundation requirements
- Lightweight and aluminium substructure, reducing transportation costs
Alternative to pre-engineered metal and conventional buildings
A Sprung structure can be shipped and erected at a rate of up to 2,000ft² (186m²) a day, enabling businesses to open ahead of schedule or expand production quickly.
Modular clear span designs ensure structures are relocatable and expandable. They are also easily disassembled, moved and completely reconfigured.
If appropriate soil conditions exist, foundations are not required on structures up to 48.8m (160ft), enabling time and cost-effective solutions.
Sprung structures comprise a virtually airtight membrane building envelope combined with a fully lofted fibreglass insulation package, ensuring maximum heating and cooling performance in any location.
