Tensile Structures – Multi-Sector Experience.
A Proven Track Record Over a Broad Spectrum of Industry Sectors.
Toro Tensile Structures are a fast, economical solution for any temporary or permanent building. Firstly, they are configured for abundant height and excellent clearance. Secondly, there are no internal columns to interfere with plant and machinery. Hence, allowing for ease of movement and maximising usable space.
In addition, our tensile structures provide an inviting environment that people enjoy working in. Furthermore, sound absorbing fabric covers minimise noise reverberation from machinery. Hence this provides a peaceful work environment for your personnel.
Above all, Toro tensile structures are a superior alternative to wood or steel buildings. Because they are not impeded by columns or beams. Therefore, tensile structures allow you to optimise the usage of all your space.
Council and Government budgets in the UK are under constant scrutiny and are typically being cut, year-on-year. As a result, Toro’s storage buildings are designed to be economical yet robust.
Toro Shelters has developed an impressive range of warehouse structures to meet the diverse requirements faced by our clients.
Offshore Wind Farms are by their nature situated in windy and corrosive environments. Consequently, the need to protect sensitive equipment integrated into Offshore Wind Turbine Generator (OWTG) installations is critical.
We have a proven reputation for delivering waste storage buildings for processing waste material. Our tensile structures ensure waste can be un-loaded, storage and processing in a dry, wind-free environment.
Toro temporary and mobile construction shelters provide an inviting, dry environment that people enjoy working in.
Boatbuilding and shipbuilding, by the very nature of the length, width and height of vessels, require a large, open space. Not just for the vessel itself, but ancillary machinery and circulation space for the workforce too.
Our sports halls are engineered using an advanced, structurally efficient design system, optimising strength and reducing the cost of materials and the need for an expensive foundation.
Choosing the correct Cover Types & Shape for your environment.
For any Tensile Fabric Structure, the cover type and shape will determined firstly by the environment and the end use. To that end, the Toro Design Engineers will undertake a comprehensive survey of your environment and take time to assess all your requirements.
At Toro Shelters, we pride ourselves on offering only the best advice and support for our clients. To that end, we will not compromise on our understanding of your project requirements. Consequently we will treat your project as if it were our own and help you understand the features and benefits of each design option. As a result we believe that we will deliver a product that surpasses your expectations, delivered on time and on budget.
Single Pitch Roof
Other names for a Single Pitch Roof include skillion, mono-pitched, or lean-to and as you can see, a single pitch roof is characterised by its single slope.
Many clients consider a Single Pitch Roof mainly due to the fact they can be cost-effective options because of their simplicity. If you already have a tensile Fabric Structure that needs extending, a Single Pitch Roof design could be perfect.
Double Pitch Roof
A Double Pitched off or Gabel Roof is the most common type of roof shape and it is characterised by two slopes that meet at the top.
The sides of the slopes are openA gable roof is so typical that it doesn’t matter if it’s installed in a cold or warm climate. It makes a good choice because it is highly affordable, has good drainage, prevent snow build-up and provides a good degree of design flexibility.
Polygonal Roof
Polygonal Roof shapes are sometimes referred to fifty pence roofs and are similar in concept to hip roofs used on residential buildings.
They are a particularly good choice for wide clearance requirements as they are the strongest shape and require less cross bracing than double pitch roofs.
Polygonal roofs are also used when there is a requirement for a wide clearance needed at height.
Arc or Round Roof
Arc or Round Roof shapes have been used for centuries, however they are very modern and offer a pleasing aesthetic.
A curved roof design is typically used in situations where there is high exposure to wind. Consequently, in situations that receive more snow and rain your shelter can have more of an arch to allow water to run-off more rapidly.
A curved roof cost will depend on the complexity of the design, but can be customised easily to house operational auxiliary options in a compact structure.
Style, Size & Installation of Toro Tensile Structures.
Toro Tensile Structures come in many different styles. Additionally, these buildings are available in sizes from 6m to 65m wide and in any length you desire.
In addition, a Toro tensile structure is perfect when you need a rapid build. Because tensile structures are designed and fabricated quickly. Therefore, it takes less than half the time it takes to construct a traditional wood or steel building. As a result, your structure is installed in only a matter of weeks.
Most notably, we install tensile structures directly on bare earth, hard-standing or no foundations. As a result, it’s super easy to make them larger or smaller and change location.
Usage of Industrial Tensile Structures.
Moreover, our Tensile Structures have a wide variety of end use. For example, production facilities, pallet stores, cold storage structures, commodities storage buildings, material handling facilities and more.
Furthermore our tensile structures provide perfect storage for your expensive processing equipment. For example, trucks, front end loaders, etc. Because protecting your equipment from UV, rain and cold conditions will greatly increase their working lives.
Additionally, the white fabric covers reduce the need for daytime artificial lighting. Moreover, the translucent and reflective qualities of the cover provide indoor temperature stability. Our manufacturing buildings and warehouses stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. As a result, these benefits will reduce or eliminate your need for heating and cooling.
Toro is an award winning company with a reputation for consistently delivering the highest levels of innovation, quality and service in the industry.
Toro Client Testimonials
We purchased a mining equipment maintenance shelter from Toro Shelters in 2014. Located in the sub Saharan desert area experiencing sand storms and high temperatures and heavy rains, the shelter, its modular offices and workshops, 5 years later are still in perfect condition.
