PROJECT SUMMARY
In May 2013, Eide Industries, Inc. completed the fabrication and international delivery of eighteen (18) custom tensioned canopies to Oranjestad, the capital city of Aruba. The red fabric structures were designed to resemble the native wind-blown Divi Divi Trees to add flare to the colorful walking boulevards of the new shopping district.
Eide designed and fabricate special racks within the shipping container for proper packaging and transporting to minimize damages to the engineered frames and covers. Eide then coordinated efforts with customs agencies and international shipping companies to export the eighteen (18) fabric and metal structures to Aruba.
