Riyadh Car Festival 01
High-Point Sail Tensile Canopies
- Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Project Overview
Over 4,000 m² of Tensile Canopies Delivered in Just 18 Days
Al-Bereik Shades successfully delivered the complete design, engineering, fabrication, supply, and installation of over 4,000 m² of architectural tensile shade structures for Riyadh Car Festival 01, organized by SEVEN in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Acting as the main contractor, Al-Bereik Shades executed two large-scale sail-inspired tensile canopies, each measuring approximately 100 meters in length and 20 meters in width. The structures feature inclined steel masts, tension cables, and high-performance PVC/PVDF membranes weighing 1,100 GSM, manufactured by Obeikan.
The entire project, from engineering and fabrication to final installation, was successfully completed within just 18 days. This achievement demonstrates Al-Bereik Shades' ability to deliver large-scale tensile structures under exceptionally demanding schedules while maintaining engineering precision, construction quality, and architectural excellence.
