ETFE Skylights are a lightweight alternative to glass roofs and facades that can be in single layer or cushion form, which are pressurized with air to provide structural stability and insulation. ETFE film can be custom printed with various patterns to provide effective insulation and shading.

With a wide range of lowmaintenance, durable fabrics, the possibilities offered by tensile membranes are very wide. We can offer our clients many solutions for one single project to suit their budget and aesthetic requirements.

FACADE ADAS® ARCHITECTURAL STEEL

Fabric Facade is an alternative to metal facades, which lack the flexibility for freeform shapes. Lightweight and economical, the fabric properties maintain exterior visibility while providing glare and heat protection. It also creates opportunities to play with lighting and colours on the facade.

We custom design, engineer, and fabricate our own structural steel for each project. This allows us to achieve freeform shapes and also eases the installation process with proprietary connection details.

ADAS® SPACEFRAME

Spaceframe structural systems provide an aesthetic, costeffective, lightweight solution to large-span structures. Our own proprietary engineering design software, combined with our modern manufacturing facility enables us to undertake spaceframe structures of any form and magnitude.

Karachi National Cricket Stadium

Karachi, Pakistan

Year: 2018

Scope: Design, Fabrication, Supply, Installation

Area: 40,000m2

Material: PVDF-coated PVC Fabric

We were awarded the task of designing, engineering, fabricating, and installing the ADAS® Tensile Membrane roof for the newly renovated National Cricket Stadium in Karachi, Pakistan. The lightweight tensile fabric used was PVDF-coated PVC Fabric, which was able to reduce the structural steel required. The total coverage area was 40,000m2, or around 430,000 ft2

Bukit Jalil Stadium

Spaceframe

Year: 2007

Scope: Design, Fabrication, Supply, Installation

Material: Mild Steel

Area: 11,700m2

To maintain clear views and optimise the use of space, the grandstand and the indoor stadium required wide-span roofs without any internal supports. As requested by the client, we designed a spaceframe system in the shape of a square-pitched roof to match the aesthetic of the overall stadium complex.

Year: 2018

Scope: Design, Fabrication, Supply, Installation

Area: 3,170m2

Material: Double-layer ETFE air cushion; Single-layer ETFE

Designed to encompass a shopping boulevard for Sunway Iskandar, the transparent canopy at the M3 Main Boulevard consists of ETFE Single Layer and Double Layer Cushions held up by a dynamic structural support system. This hybrid of single-layer and double-layer ETFE membranes produces an alternating shadow effect due to their different light transmission properties.

Penang Facade

Penang, Malaysia

Year: 2016

Scope: Design, Fabrication, Supply, Installation

Area: 13,000m2

Material: Fabric Facade

The Design Village itself is in a natural, singlestorey, naturally-ventilated park that features cool, well-sheltered verandah walkways and connectors, nestled within a lush tropical garden setting. The architectural approach is one that is contemporary, stylistically international, and nonthematic. Yet references are made to Georgetown City’s historical urban scale, visual texture, and architectural tapestry in the physical composition of the Design Village—to give it a character emblematic of its locale.

Design Village Penang

Canopy

Penang, Malaysia

Year: 2016

Scope: Design, Fabrication, Supply, Installation

Area: 25,000m2 - 100,000m2

Material: Double-layer ETFE air cushion

As the Design Village Penang consists of a series of buildings that form an open-air retail complex, this series of ETFE canopies create spaces that are sheltered from the rain but still allow plenty of sunlight. The use of double-layer cushion systems allows fewer intermediate supporting members as compared to a glass structure, and the tinted blue ETFE film and silver dot printing effectively cuts the heat transmission of the canopy.

Canopy

Johor, Malaysia

Year: 2014

Scope: Design, Fabrication, Supply, Installation

Area: 3,000m2 (Top), 3,000m2 (Bottom)

Material: TiO2-coated PVC fabric

The Sunway Iskandar Events Gallery sits on the banks of Emerald Lake, serving as a node within a network of ecoparks, green pockets, water bodies, and green corridors. The distinct form of the roof canopy is envisioned as one elegant swoop, clad in TiO2-coated PVC fabric. The choice of material allows the building to emit a warm, soft glow in the evenings, and also reduces the need for heavy structural support, cleaning, and maintenance.

The Elegant Swoop

Far East Flora Greenhouse

Singapore, Singapore

Year: 2021

Scope: Design, Fabrication, Supply, Installation

Area: 600m2

Material: Single Layer Clear and White ETFE film

An iconic structure that houses a retail showroom for a floral shop. By using ETFE film, we were able to create a greenhouse experience for the visitors while they do their shopping. The free-form dome shape was formed by curved architectural steel as the main supporting component to the flexible ETFE membrane. The steel structure was further minimised through value engineering and the extremely light weight of the film. The interface between the membrane and structural steel is seamlessly integrated using proprietary detailing and aluminium fixtures that not only provide sufficient tensioning for a smooth, glass-like surface but also maintain air and water-tightness.

Global Indian Intl. School Roof

Singapore, Singapore

Year: 2018

Scope: Design, Fabrication, Supply,

Installation

Area: 6,400m2

Material: Double-layer ETFE air cushion

Thoughtfully designed as a ‘nest’ by leading architects from USA, Australia, and Japan, the architecture emulates a nurturing environment and pedagogy for an enhanced learning experience for every student. This roof structure nests on the roof level of two opposing buildings and spans across it which results in the lightweight structure protecting the central space from the external environmental elements while letting in abundant natural light.

Scope: Design and Build

Area: 800m2

Material: PVDF-coated PVC fabric

Taking inspiration from the shape of a clamshell, this canopy is designed based on a barrel vault structure. Even though the structure is fully constructed of steel, the fluid form produced by the architectural steel gives the structure a very lightweight feeling and makes it appear to be floating with the wind.
