From agri-resorts to circus tents: engineering doesn’t get any more varied than this!

From an ambitious mountain agri-resort in the Malaysian Highlands to circus tents for Cirque du Soleil, Quarters 2 and 3 in 2015 for Web Structures have brought in some varied projects.

The Web team is working on a design competition for the development of an agri-township near Cameron Highlands in Malaysia on a site covering an area of more than 3,000 acres that will include residential, commercial, cable car stations and other agri-tourism attractions.

In Singapore, Web Structures’ experts have been tasked the design and supervision of circus tents for the world famous Cirque du Soleil’s Totem show in partnership with architect and M&E engineer Parsons Brinckerhoff.

The judges described the striking design of the park, which includes an auditorium, running track, football field, Olympic-sized swimming pool and spectator facilities, as “excellent and inventive”.
