Mukesh Mittal leads structural review at Ekra Decor. He is the engineer behind the load-path and durability guidance published on this site: how a membrane, its cables and its steel share load, how a retractable mechanism is specified as manual or motorised, and what decides whether a structure reaches its design life or fails early.

Ekra Decor has designed, engineered, fabricated and installed tensile structures in-house since 1998. Technical pages are written by the team that builds the work rather than by outside copywriters, and the structural and systems guidance is checked against what the company actually details and erects before it is published.
