Tensaform

Tensaform Membran Yapılar Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. operates in "Tensile membrane structures and constructions", one of the most creative applications of today's architectural approaches. The most important factor that makes Tensaform preferred in textile architecture and membrane shell structures is its turnkey approach from design to application. Enriching this approach not only by the experience obtained during the applications but also by academic studies, Tensaform has put its signature under many successful domestic and foreign projects. A fast, professional and creative team, a technological infrastructure fully meeting today's requirements, a high production capacity, a specific machinery park, and exciting feedbacks from the customers led Tensaform to change its goal to be one of the best companies of the whole world, not Just in Turkey, in our industry.

Tensaform has achieved being the solution partner of the most distinguished companies of the construction industry with the ISO 9001 certificate that guarantees performance of its operations on international quality standards, and with its working principles. It also contributes to our country's economy with an unmeasurable reputation and export volume.

Project Consulting

DESIGN 3D MODELLING
In general, we are making our designs by adopting the principles of aesthetics, functionality, safety and economy with the guidance of the project owners who do not have sufficient information about the reinforced concrete and steel structures to be used as infrastructure, along with membrane shell and the forms it might take. We offer you these designs as 3D visuals in various formats.
We recommend you our 3D model library to give you a foresight on structural designs of textile architecture. You may make your assessment based on the topics related to the functions and aesthetic membrane structures in your mind.

DRAFT PROJECT ANALYSIS
After deciding on the form and structure in terms of design, preliminary statical analyses and sizing studies are carried out by our engineers in order to obtain more realistic approaches in terms of the work area, steel and membrane quantities, support reactions and reinforced concrete foundation qualities.

DETAIL DEVOLEPMENT
The detail studies are shaped with the guidance of the project owners regarding the structure designed based on the options and methods for co-functioning of steel, aluminum, rope and accessories and textile material, and on the conditions of material, ergonomics, aesthetics and economy. Click for some integration detail examples.

MOCK UP APPLICATIONS
In some of our projects, we express our quality and the significance we put on the work to be performed through the mock-ups we prepare and physically install in place in order to show the project owners how the entire textile structure will look, its detail quality, functionality, material type, and how it will be perceived on a human scale. Therefore, the project owners get an idea about the result of the work to be carried out.

FABRIC MATERIAL SELECTION
We work together with project owners to select the materials that suit their needs and functions the most based on their advantages and disadvantages by deciding on membrane PVC, PTFE, ETFE materials of various qualities, brands and features in accordance with the characteristic and economic expectation of the project, special requests of project owners, and the span specified and the statical requirements of the membrane structure. We recommend the materials of guaranteed and reliable manufacturers like Ferrari, Mehler,Verseidag, Sherfill.

PREPARING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
We are preparing project-specific PVC, PTFE, ETFE membrane cover + steel structural specifications according to the benefits of the public organizations or legal entities to go out to tender, within the framework of the rules of competition and fairness, that suit the significance, economy and technical sensitivity of the work to be performed, by taking the TSE and/or international norms into consideration to work with the right companies.

PROCESS & METHODOLOGY OF CONSTRUCTION
The consulting duties of our experienced and professional project officers include process planning as per the physical size, manufacturing quality and standards, assembly process and climatic and environmental factor of the project, and predictive planning of the supply, manufacturing, transportation and assembly statuses of the materials included by this process according to the benefits and expectations of the project owners.

BUDGETING
One of the most important duties of our professional marketing team is to prepare offers in accordance with the budget expectations and collaboration of the project owners by carrying out realistic price analyses for any structural membrane cover + steel projects developed/not developed by us, with general or specific criteria determined (quantities, amount, material, process, quality, division of labor), and having/not having a specification.

Project Design

We believe that creation dreams of architects, spatial designers and investors should never be prevented by any means. We are trying to assist our customers in how they can make their wishes come true, rather than telling them what not to do. We are trying to provide the most ideal concept solution by collaborating in order to find the best solution with our customers or solution partners wishing to have more information.

We are realizing all kinds of steel+reinforced concrete+ membrane shell projects for all kinds of tensile architecture with our teams equipped with state-of-the-art software and equipment. We follow the order of General Form finding, Finite element analyses, Making templates, Connection detail design in the projects we analyze.

Fabrication

Our factory located in Tekirdağ/Malkara is the world's biggest textile membrane processing facility with a 6000m2 indoor and 4000m2 outdoor areas, and provides solution for textile architecture projects both in Turkey and around the world with its most advanced machinery (5m and 3 m width cnc cutting counters, special production etfe welding machines, modern High Frequency (HF) machines, Teflon ironing and pressing machines in all sizes), its experienced engineers and trained personnel, and with an annual 300,000 m2 PVC, 150,000 m2 PTFE, 100,000 ETFE processing capacity.

Installation (Construction)

We are carrying out our reinforced concrete anchorage, steel construction and membrane cover assembly within our company in a controlled manner and by keeping our health and safety inspections on highest levels. We are providing all kinds of opportunities for our experienced, trained teams and technicians to produce a high-quality field product in compliance with the assembly diagrams provided to them, and by following the construction site rules tin suitable processes and with necessary equipment and tools.

Service & Maintenance

We generally provide a two-year warranty for the manufacturing and assembly errors of steel construction and membrane cover for works manufactured and assembled by us. Then, if requested (particularly in ETFE applications), we carry out semi-annual maintenance, repair and part renewal processes in order to render the steel+membrane and ETFE cover systems to be much more durable by our special maintenance and service agreement.
