Tensile membrane structures have been in development for a number of years specifically designed to offer nearly unlimited applications. They are lightweight, made of materials that are environmentally friendly, and run on renewable energy. They offer an unmatched level of versatility and ust the right application they can help prevent flooding or desalinate water while also offering a host of other uses.

SD Sails offer non-traditional membrane structures. The company is focused on creating a structure that can be used to cover any size space and be used for any number of purposes. The company uses a revolutionary material called the SD Core that is made with a special shape memory polymer coating that is designed to change shape when the temperature changes. It is made so that it can withstand winds over 100mph.

SD Sails have come up with a unique way of making its structures move, pull and stretch in ways that are predictable and safe, offering them as an alternative to traditional movement systems such as motors or hydraulics. Tensioning technology enables the structure to move freely on its own by converting kinetic energy into potential energy.

What are Tensile Membrane Structures?

These structures are different from other types of buildings in that they aren't secured to the ground. In order to do their job properly, they use tension instead of gravity. This allows them to be lightweight and mobile in a number of applications. In some cases, they use no concrete or repair at all. These offer a very efficient and cost effective solution in a number of areas.

Why Use Tension Structures?

They're environmentally friendly, so there is little need to worry about the disposal of materials at the end of their life span or how much energy is used in the creation process. They also tend to be very inexpensive considering the benefits that can be yielded from them. Not only are they versatile, they are also lightweight and can be created with relatively little manpower on a job site.

In the right application, these structures provide flood protection. They're often used to span canals and pipelines or other areas that need to be monitored for leaks. They can prevent infiltration of water and air through their membrane, keeping dangerous elements from reaching the underlying area. They can also be placed over roads and highways to help prevent flooding in those areas where there is a long history of damage due to high water levels. They're often used in agriculture as well.
