CONSTRUCTION DETAILSASU SKYSONG
Cleats
Welded onto the top of the A-frame
columns to allow attachment of cables.
SPIGOT connection
Used for the connection of 2 circular steel
tubes to achieve the desired length, which
is 111 feet.
PIN JOINT
Attach column (masts) to base plate
through welding.
Telescopic strut connection
Steel plate is welded and connected to a steel
structure with a smaller diameter.

BALE RING
PTFE membrane is clamped onto the bale ring to form
conical shaped structures. It is found on the top and bottom
of the A-frame columns alternatively to achieve its form.

Catenary Cable
membrane plate
Clamps onto the fabric’s corner to pull the fabric
tightly, holds the ends of the catenary cables that
run in the fabric edge pockets.

CABLE ANCHORING
Steel cables are anchored to the steel cleats which are
welded onto the base plate. The base plate is then
secured onto the concrete foundation with bolts and nuts.
