Stainless Steel Cable Systems for ETFE Facades: El Batel Auditorium
Contemporary architecture demands materials that allow organic and translucent shapes without compromising stability. At Cables Estructurales, we have contributed our technical expertise to the El Batel Auditorium in Cartagena, supplying stainless steel cable systems for the support of its iconic ETFE textile façade.
The Synergy between ETFE and Cable Systems:
ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) is an extraordinarily lightweight polymer, but it requires a high-precision support structure to maintain its shape and resistance.
- Specialized Supply: Our stainless steel tie-rods provide the necessary tension for the ETFE panels to withstand wind loads and thermal expansion.
- Corrosion Resistance: Being a seafront project, the use of certified stainless steel is vital to avoid constant maintenance and ensure structural integrity.
How are ETFE façades secured?
Through a network of tie-rods and structural cables that transfer loads to the main structure efficiently and aesthetically.
Solutions for Textile and Structural Architecture:
As experts in the design of tie-rod and reinforcement systems, our strength lies in the ability to integrate steel components into complex architectural designs.
- Custom Design: We manufacture terminals and turnbuckles tailored to the needs of each façade.
- Extensive Experience: We participate in works where lightness is the priority, from stadiums to cultural centers.
- Large Stock: We have cables, strands, and accessories in stainless and galvanized steel for projects of any scale.
Leaders in Structural Innovation:
The El Batel Auditorium is an example of how engineering and aesthetics unite. At Cables Estructurales, we are committed to offering safe and durable solutions that allow architects and engineers to take their designs to the next level.
