A membrane structure is an architectural structure that uses highly flexible fabric or membrane materials as the primary component. These materials are tensioned using steel frames, poles, or cables to create a strong and durable shape. Membrane structures are commonly used in the construction of large roofs that require flexibility and lightweight features, such as stadiums, open-air theaters, or exhibition spaces.

An innovative tent membrane structure realized in the UOB project. We are pioneering the architectural beauty of the future with a space that is lightweight, safe, and full of natural light.

Construction example: UOB (2017)
The UOB project, completed in 2017, is one of Tomas Engineering's masterpieces in tent membrane construction. In this project, membrane structure technology was used to create a large-scale space that is lightweight, yet safe, and provides a bright, comfortable, and shaded interior.

Features
Lightweight and safe structure: Reducing the overall weight of the building improves safety during natural disasters such as earthquakes.
Bright and comfortable space: Uses highly translucent membrane materials to maximize natural light. It also contributes to reducing energy costs.
Multipurpose use: Due to its flexibility, it can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as transportation nodes such as stations, airports, and ports, and rest areas in parks.

Application example
The success of the UOB project shows how tent membrane structures can serve as a new solution in public facilities. This technology expands the possibilities for permanent buildings and represents a new direction for future architecture.

Through the UOB project, Tomas Engineering has shown the world the potential of tent membrane structures. This innovative construction method will continue to contribute to the creation of sustainable, safe, and beautiful spaces.
