Winter is coming again, so up goes the tennis dome.

It seems like only yesterday when spring had sprung and we were called in to deflate the Coolhurst dome ready for summer. Time flies like an arrow though and winter is almost upon us, so it’s that time of year again to give comfort and protection to the hardy cold-weather players. This time the dome is covering two of the club’s new clay courts rather than the hard surfaces of previous years.

This aerial view of Cardiff Docks takes in three structures from two separate projects, designed and project managed by our Biogas team and fabricated by our Manufacturing arm.

The projects are two 2,000m3 slab-mounted BioSpheres for Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water at their Cardiff sludge treatment centre on the far left, and a 32m diameter anaerobic digester membrane BioSphere roof for the Cardiff Food Waste AD plant in the lower centre. We like to think that both of these successful projects enhance the Cardiff scene..!

91034-PM-COR-00002 – Testimonial

On a recent wastewater treatment plant digester lid replacement project, Eneraque utilised the membrane digester lids, fan blower assemblies and pipework supplied by AJ Tensile Fabrications.
AJ Tensile became the obvious choice of fabrication partner to deliver this project with for our gas holder needs early in the scoping stage of the project, providing competitive pricing, industry experience, helpful advice and backed up by a respected product.
I am happy to say that Richard, Raul, Rafael and the team at AJ Tensile satisfied our expectations, meeting their project commitments and delivering prompt service when we had installation or design queries surrounding the product. Eneraque have been able to proudly deliver, install and commission a ground-breaking Australian installation that the end client and builder have been impressed with, utilising AJ Tensile manufactured products.
Regards,
Noel Rosario
Project Manager

Spring has sprung again! Up go the temperatures, down comes the dome…

A sure sign that winter is well and truly behind us, the AJ Tensile crew attended Coolhurst Tennis and Squash Club in Crouch End, London this week for the annual tennis dome removal in time for the summer season. The whole operation of deflation, packing and on-site storage takes less than a day, generating no mess and with minimal disruption. Our inflatable fabric dome allows the club to offer year-round play in anything the British weather can throw at it, allowing natural light in during the day and using an ingenious reflective floodlight system for night-time illumination. Give us a call on 01291 425099 if this is the type of protection your club needs to keep club members happy and revenue flowing uninterrupted throughout the year.

Our Biogas division recently completed a medium-sized gasholder for a South West Water plant at Hayle near St Erth in Cornwall. Measuring 570 cubic metres, the Polyester-reinforced PVC BioSphere gas dome was designed and manufactured at our production facility in Caldicot in close collaboration with our client, Tecker Ltd, and installed on top of an elevated concrete plinth. Ductwork was manufactured and supplied by Compass Ltd to our own design. For increased accuracy a laser level sensor was selected to monitor the storage volume rather than the alternative ultrasound sensor.
