Presentation Title: We can measure more accurately, while saving time and money
Short synopsis of the presentation:
Project description – Caroline Bay Sound Shell – Tension Membrane Canopy Replacement.
A bespoke stage structure that was created 25 years ago with hand drawn sketches and onsite frame modifications, required a renewal of the PVC membrane tensile canopy.
Our main challenges for this project were its location (1100 km from our factory) and although it is very simple in design, there were the obvious accuracy and placement of the curved frame structural tubing issues to contend with. Traditional site measuring technics were going to be problematic as well as its location if anything was missed for patterning.
Having attended our OFPANZ conference a few months earlier I listened to a speaker that was implementing 3d laser scanning processes with their site measures. A little bit of investigation and we were lead in a completely new direction for our site measuring of custom projects. A whole new world of opportunity was presented, that has speed up, given us far more accurate patternable geometry and ultimately created the perfect result for our client.
