ARAMCO

At Saudi Aramco's South Ghawar TCF site, TMSI delivered car park shade structures in PVDF fabric covering more than 7,500 m².

Shade on remote industrial sites has to cope with intense sun, heat and wind-blown sand with little opportunity for routine maintenance. PVDF-coated fabric combines long-term UV resistance with architectural flexibility, and the PVDF top coat helps the shades resist dirt and keep their colour — a durable choice for car parks exposed to full sun throughout the year.

Car park shades are TMSI's largest product line, with more than 300,000 m² delivered across Saudi Arabia and the region; the in-house team covers design, engineering, manufacturing in the Dammam factory and installation. Every TMSI tensile design goes through form finding and finite element analysis, and the resulting load calculations set the size of the foundations and steelwork and the pre-stress of the fabric.
