Project — Industrial & Manufacturing
Ekra Decor built a barrel-vault tensile canopy over the parking and walkway areas at a Vikram Solar manufacturing site near Kolkata, West Bengal.
Project Overview
Ekra Decor built a barrel-vault tensile canopy over the parking and walkway areas at a Vikram Solar manufacturing site near Kolkata, West Bengal.
Vikram Solar is one of India’s largest solar module manufacturers, with production facilities in the Falta Special Economic Zone in South 24 Parganas. The canopy shelters the vehicle and pedestrian route between site buildings, replacing what would otherwise be an open walk across the yard.

Project Highlights
A continuous arched membrane roof covers the length of the parking and walkway route without intermediate breaks in the canopy line.
The roof needs to hold up to vehicle movement, site traffic and West Bengal’s monsoon rainfall rather than decorative use.
Per Ekra Decor’s project records, design through installation ran approximately 105 days.
How This Project Was Delivered
Ekra Decor is a turnkey manufacturer — the same team carries a project from first sketch to final tensioning.
Membrane geometry is developed in form-finding software so the fabric is correctly pre-stressed in double curvature.
Steel frame, cables and foundations are engineered for the span, wind and loading conditions of the site.
Steel is fabricated and hot-dip galvanised or epoxy coated; the membrane is patterned and welded in-house.
The frame is erected and the membrane tensioned on site by our own installation crews, then handed over.
Membranes We Work With
The right membrane depends on span, climate and intended lifespan. These are the architectural fabrics we build with.
