Description of works
The tensile membrane structure comprise of 1 piece of fabric in the free form
shape of high and low points.
The main function of the tensile membrane canopy is to provide shade and
coverage for people against rain and shine and also enhance the aesthetic of
the surrounding.
Material
Inspection
The main visual elements to check is the fabric itself, the adjuster, steel and
edge cables against corrosion.
Rectification works
In any case whereby there are holes or tears found on the fabric, we will
rectify the holes or tears using high frequency thermal tacker. A piece of FEP
tape will be welded to a new piece of similar fabric and this new fabric will
be placed on the holes or tear and weld it to the existing fabric using high
frequency thermal tacker to a degree Celsius of 380 at the underside of the
fabric.
For corrosion, use a steel brush to brush off the surface rust. After that, apply
galvanized paint/spray on the corroded area. Once done, paint it over using
similar paint colour.
Washing of Fabric
There is no standard duration when the fabric needs to be washed. The fabric
need not be washed unless the client feels that the fabric is dirty, if not,
there is no indication on the washing duration.
At any point of time if the workers doing cleaning work requires to clean the
top of the fabric, they shall not stand on the fabric as they are not trained to
do so. Only specialize workers will be allowed to stand on top of fabric .
The workers must access to the top by means of boom lift and lift the bucket
of boomlift above the fabric and clean it. Workers can actually use cloth
attached to pole to reach area not accessible for cleaning purpose.
Normally, the fabric tend to be dirty on the underside of the fabric, thus,
cleaning using scaffoldings will be appropriate.
NOTE
DO NOT USE ANY DETERGENT WITH PH VALUE LESS THAN 6 OR MORE THAN
8 ( MEANING NOT ACIDIC OR ALKALINE). ALSO, NO WATER JET TO BE USED
TO SPRAY WATER TO THE FABRIC AS THIS METHOD WILL CAUSE THE FABRIC
TO LOSE THE TENSION VALUE.
