PROJECT SUMMARY
Eide Industries completed the fabrication and installation of seven hyperbolic paraboloid (AKA as Hypar) tensile structures at the Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego, California. Eide was selected by Whiting-Turner Contracting to assist with the design refinement, project management, engineering, manufacturing and installation of these canopies on the second floor of the shopping center. The end result was a line of fabric structures which provided a signature look to the area while providing a combined shade coverage area of 1,176 square feet.
White Polyfab HDPE knitted mesh fabrics were utilized for the top covers to meet the 90MPH wind-load requirements. A combination of white polyester powder coat painted 12’ x 14’ steel frames, stainless steel cables and turn-buckles were mounted to the top of existing 10” diameter columns. Eide’s high standards of metal and fabric craftsmanship allowed for a successful design, engineering, fabrication and installation of the outdoor canopies for the mall patrons to enjoy for years to come.
