At Wentworth Falls Lake in the Blue Mountains, a new walkway and viewing platform has transformed the way the community can experience this unique landscape. Designed by Oculus for
Read More Combining Safety and Style in Tensile Solutions for Schools
Tensile solutions for schools include mesh barriers and facades designed for maximum fall protection and security of students and staff. While the word ‘security’ might conjure up images of
Read More How Using Stainless Steel Wire Can Impact Sustainability
Stainless steel wire materials can be used to create fall protection barriers that look light and airy, while being highly robust, durable and compliant. But these tensile structures can
Read More Behind the Scenes on Custom Tensile Structure Projects
Making custom tensile structure projects come together requires a complex process that starts long before actual construction. At Tensile, we take a very collaborative approach with various teams during
Read More The Hidden Engineering Behind Cable Tensioning Systems
Stainless steel cable tensioning systems often appear simple and effortless, but a huge amount of precision engineering goes on behind the scenes! Let’s take a look at what’s involved
Read More The Role of Tensile Structures in Sustainable Design
Stainless steel tensile structures – such as green facades and walls and lightweight fall-protection barriers – can decrease a building’s carbon footprint in several ways. These include through reduced
