Based on a design by the Leoni & Leoni studio, a modular structure was built as a temporary gymnasium for AC Trento. The system of portals with curved steel edges is covered with a double-layer insufflated textile membrane envelope to ensure adequate internal thermal comfort. The portals also provide support for the raised XLam wood […]
Double membrane covering for a multi-purpose field with a laminated wood structure. The double membrane envelope ensures that there is no condensation inside the covered space and provides a certain degree of thermal insulation. The system is kept pressurised by dedicated fans. The opening section consists of reinforced sliding side panels.
Geodesic covers are an efficient and safe way to cover medium and large sports fields. They can be made of a metal lattice structure or laminated wood. This is the case for the project for an 18×36 cover made of PVC-coated polyester fabric. The design of the cover and the cuts in the textile membrane […]
School gyms and sports centers often need mobile curtains that allow the playing area to be divided into two parts. The goal is to create two separate areas within the gym so that it can be used simultaneously by two classes or two sports groups. Maco Technology designs and manufactures custom-made folding walls of this […]
One of the main reasons why pressurised structures are sometimes criticised is the fact that they are opaque on all sides and have no openings that allow you to see outside: in the project shown opposite, this problem has been overcome. The covering for three beach volleyball courts was created using pressostatic technology, but with […]
The laminated wood structure with a span of 41 metres is covered with a double membrane of PVC-coated polyester fabric for the roof section and a single membrane for the end sections. The double membrane system improves indoor comfort in both summer and winter by significantly reducing condensation.
Replacement of fabric for 40×40 steel geodesic structure, including side windows and sliding windows on the façade. The fabric was replaced after almost thirty years of use. The ventilation system based on windows and the opening on the façade thanks to a sliding system were introduced to improve the usability of the structure and ensure […]
A quarter dome made of calendered steel beams, covered in PVC-coated polyester fabric, becomes an outdoor climbing gym. The sphere has a radius of 8 meters, for a total of 230 square meters of fabric. The fabric is tensioned thanks to a series of steel cables inserted into curved pockets. A semi-dome steel structure is […]
The 36×36 air-supported structure photographed here covers two tennis courts. The air-supported structure uses the special “ecoshell” technology developed by Maco Technology, a double layer of PVC-coated polyester fabric in which there are no thermal bridges except at the base of the air-supported structure, near the foundations. The two sheets therefore always remain separated from […]
Sports Grandstand Roofing A 50-meter portion of a small municipal sports center has been covered with a steel and canvas roof. The overhang is 20 meters. A 50-meter portion of the football stadium terraces is covered with a 20-meter cantilever system.
