Big Span Structures provides turn-key highly customized tensioned membrane structures, tensile facades, frame supported and air-supported fabric-clad structures. With over 40 years of experience, Big Span's in-house capabilities include design, engineering, fabrication, and installation solutions resulting in over 500 million ft2 of architectural membrane structures globally.

Working closely with architects, engineers, general contractors and owner/developers, Big Span Structures provides a diverse skill set and a collaborative service-driven management style to bring imagined conceptual ideas to life. Creating custom PTFE-coated fiberglass membrane, PVC membrane, and ETFE film innovative roofing systems, canopies and skylights, our work ranges from festive amphitheaters, functional building facades, sporting venues, transportation terminals to eye-catching retail centers.

Big Span is committed to delivering high-quality and state-of-the-art signature designs to its customers. Big Span Structures project portfolio demonstrates the various ways to take structural and tensile fabric capabilities to new levels with iconic results.
Services
As a turnkey company, Big Span Structures offers concept-to-completion, customized design, engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, and installation solutions for tensioned membrane structures, tensile facades, air supported fabric-clad structures, and fabric pre-fab frame supported with a customer-focused service model.
Big Span's Team brings over a century of combined, highly-specialized knowledge & experience to the table.
With a diverse skill set and collaborative, service-driven management style, Big Span Structures is uniquely positioned to outpace its competitors in the design and development of signature lightweight tensile membrane structures, from the most basic to the highest levels of complexity.
During the preliminary stages of designing a tensile structure or facade, Big Span offers pre-construction design assistance to the project design team helping them take their idea to a feasible, constructible solution.
Big Span's dedicated team of specialty engineers, designers and engineering consultants are extremely experienced and knowledgeable, working with the industry's latest tensile architectural materials and steel cable structure systems.
During the fabrication phase of a project, Big Span's 42,000 square-foot membrane manufacturing plant has efficient capacity and a highly trained staff working with tensile fabric materials, such as PTFE, PVC, and ETFE film.
Whether it's a tensile membrane structure, tensile facade or an air-supported, pre-fab clear span frame supported buildings cladded with fabric, architects appreciate the uniqueness when it comes to a using tensile membrane for its ability to exhibit unusual and iconic shapes and forms and as a facility/building owner, we know how important it is to have a building or structure that is durable, long lasting, requires minimal maintenance while also looking aesthetically pleasing.
See here all the various types of fabric structures Big Span has to offer.
Big Span is a leader in Concept-to-Completion Solutions for Signature Lightweight Tensioned Membrane Structures.
Tensile membrane structures have a signature visual character and give designers, architects and engineers the ability to experiment with form and create new exciting solutions to conventional design problems.
Some of the many natural applications for tensile architecture include: tensile cable-supported domes, mast or flying mast supported, arch supported, radial conical designs, folded plate and saddle roof structures.
Tensile membrane facades are an excellent answer for any building owner looking to create a building envelope system that's not only eye-catching but also durable and cost effective compared to traditional building products.
Due to the lightweight flexible nature of membrane, a tensile fabric facade can span long distances while reducing the need for a lot of structural steel support framing making it an affordable and innovative solution.
Such fabrics like PTFE or PVC membrane are ideal on large structures like stadiums or parking garages using the same technology as tensile fabric overhead roofing canopies, or, with transparent ETFE cushions or a single layer ETFE system.
