Tensile structures for Ports and Harbours
Tensile structures are the ideal type of building to use on Ports or Harbours. We have hundreds of buildings in use on Ports across the UK, Europe and Scandinavia.
Our steel frame structure is designed for spans upto 100metres wide (clear span) with lengths not limited and heights upto 30metre
The loads imposed on foundations and foundation requirements compared to traditional portal frame buildings often make tensile structures preferable in Port settings where land is reclaimed and engineers prefer shallower foundations or structures with reduced loads.
The speed of installation of our structures is also recognised as advantageous when compared to other forms of construction.
Natural daylight also reduces both running costs of artificial lighting and maintenance thereof which combined reduce the energy used by the building.
Our building system is proven to perform in the most harsh of locations.

Testimonial
The project ran like clockwork, nothing was any trouble for the team
The double-skinned tensile facility provides the perfect solution for the harsh environments associated with maritime storage. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Collinson and look forward to working with them again in the future.
