Our client, a leading sports venue operator in Northern Europe, required a snow-resistant multi-purpose structure for indoor sports courts and commercial events. The challenge was engineering a building to withstand heavy snow loads and high winds while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.
We deployed the Polygonal Tent snow-resistant shelter system, featuring a distinctive multi-sided geometric roof design that delivers superior snow-shedding performance. The 30 m clear span width and 13.2 m ridge height provide generous interior volume for full-size sports courts and banquet configurations.
