As the UK’s long-established leading manufacturer of marquees and temporary structures, at Tectonics UK, we understand the importance of designing our products to meet all the relevant UK standards and codes to help ensure the safety of our customers.
In this blog, we’ll explore what ‘structural calculations’ mean and why they are so important.
What are ‘structural calculations'?
Structural Calculations are produced by a Structural Engineer and simply put, they define a Tent’s ability to withstand wind pressure or a snow load and a floor’s ability to withstand a weight load.
All parts of the structure from the frame to the fabric are assessed by a structural engineer.
At Tectonics UK, we are proud to say that all our structures are calculated to comply with current UK standards for temporary demountable structures helping to give you complete peace of mind.
Why are Structural Calculations important?
Ensures safety
Our structurally calculated products are designed to handle certain loads and stresses, ensuring they remain safe in the conditions of use for which they were designed.
Compliance with industry standards
Structures, especially when used for events involving the public need to meet specific safety standards.
Structural calculations are used to verify compliance with these standards and to avoid failures which can lead to both injury and legal issues.
