From barangay courts to sports complexes
Covered courts are the most common public building in the Philippines and the heart of community life – sports, fiestas, meetings and, when typhoons come, shelter. Their roofs are large and light, which makes wind uplift the governing load.
We design the roof, purlins and anchor bolts for the full suction of a typhoon, choose spans and shapes for good ventilation and daylight, and supply bleachers, stages and side canopies in the same order. See long-span roof structures.

Engineering
Uplift is the real load
In a typhoon the wind lifts a light roof much more than gravity holds it down. We check every link in the chain – sheet fixings, purlins, cleats, trusses, columns and anchor bolts – so there is no weak point for the storm to find.
