Clear Span Roof Systems
Aluminum’s lightweight characteristics allow for larger clear-span capability than structures utilizing steel, concrete and other materials. Creative design and lightweight components provide for installation in 1/3 of the time it takes to install other cover systems. Less time, labor and equipment requirements combine for a low total cost of installation.
Aluminum’s excellent strength-to-weight ratios and creative component design yield covers and structures that cannot be achieved with other materials. Clear Span Roof Systems are used for curved roofs and can be custom designed to develop a broad range of shapes and sizes. The single layer aluminum framework is offered as either an integral glazing system or integral roof and insulation system. Typical building footprint applications include ellipsoidal, oval, rectangular and circular.
The high strength of a clear span structural system is derived from:
High quality prefabricated aluminum components and lightweight aluminum members ensure design success, speed of delivery and ease of construction.

An Innovative Cover Solution Extends Reservoir Life
Styles come and go, and sometimes reappear. Take hats, for example. What’s fashionable in the 60s went out in the 70s but may come back a few decades later. However, when it comes to municipal water facilities, yesterday’s model is gone for good, replaced by a more contemporary, sustainable design.
