Location Cancun, Mexico
Technotense team successfully installed main entrance canopy and covered commercial tracks with tensile membrane structures, as a part of new development for the "La Isla" shopping center in Cancun, Mexico. The structure is designed to withdraw all external loads including winds up to 250 km/h (155 mph) and regulated by all local codes and standards.
The main canopy is organically integrated with commercial track membrane cover in a visually attractive way to invite visitors inside a unique space and create shade under the famous Cancun sun.
Realizamos este ingreso espectacular para la ampliación del Centro Comercial La Isla en Cancún, Mexico.
Está diseñado estructuralmente para soportar los vientos regionales que superan los 250 km/h.
Realizamos la integracion del ingreso con el track comercial mediante una cubierta de conos invertidos de bases traslapadas para generar un movimiento agradable que se integra a la arquitectura amigable del centro comercial
The main canopy membrane combines major detailing and fixation techniques, as the structure itself is made of 8 columns up to 45m (150ft) tall that support a perimeter ring. The fabric cover is fixed to a perimeter, interconnected with clamping, fixed to columns in a “conical technique” and 3 central modules are tensed by pull-up cables.
The critical aspect of this project was the attention to detail: we had to carefully design and calculate structure and fabric and our installation team had to handle this project with high precision and accuracy as there was no room for adjustment.
