Description
Tensis provided design and detailing services as well as installation of the 85 sq.m seaside canopies.
The highly corrosive seaside environment and the strong south winds (up to 33m/sec) were two of the major design challenges.
Resin Anchor bolts (Spit Epomax) were drilled directly into the natural rock.
All materials were carried on site by local boat taxis!
Description of the environmental conditions
Highly corrosive environment with strong south winds up to 33m/sec. Max temp: 42 degrees
