Please describe the project specifications

This project consists of twenty-five (25) triangular-shaped tensioned shade sails on the beach front property. There are twenty-two (22) Ewa Beach canopies (14' x 14' x 14'), and three (3) Community Center Kiddie Pool shade sails (20' x 20' x 20'), with upright columns ranging from 8' to 14' high. Cream Monotec 370 FR fabric (by Value Vinyls) are attached to support columns engineered for 105 MPH Wind-Loads, Exposure "D"; and Seismic Design Category "D".

What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

Tension Structures worked closely with Carmel Partners to design, engineer and install Shade Sails throughout the Waterfront Beach Park, and over the new Community Center Kiddie Pool in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

What is unique or complex about the project?

Concrete footings for the upright posts were poured throughout the sand areas of the beach front areas. Being in "hurricane prone region", all tensioned shade sails are engineered for 105 MPH Wind-Loads, Exposure "D"; and Seismic Design Category "D".
