At the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, there are 3,000 fixed seats covered by a PTFE Tensile membrane structure supported by a series of steel truss masts.  The original design was expanded and the cables and membrane were upgraded for higher wind loads.  Additionally, the existing steel elements were strengthened to resist hurricane-force winds.  The PTFE membrane also allows for the projection of images and colored lights for a more impactful experience for concert goers.

FabriTec’s designers, engineers, project management and construction crews worked with the entire team to ensure that all the details were thought out, keeping in mind our aggressive schedule. We opened our doors to two sell-out events in May 2009, which would not have been possible without FabriTec’s commitment and dedication to a job well done. It is with great pride and pleasure that I wholeheartedly recommend FabriTec Structures for any project that you might have, no matter what the size or time-frame for completion.
