From project concept to completion, Norseman Structures has a strong commitment to a quality product, excellent value and superior service in the design, fabrication and installation of steel framed, fabric structures.
Norseman Structures tennis facilities allow sport and play year-round, despite the unpredictability and inconvenience of weather. Even on cloudy days, the all-season, recreational buildings are bright, fresh and inviting.
Functional DesignThe "hushed" sound quality inside a fabric covered building is far superior to any traditional style of facility. The translucent fabric cover allows natural daylight to enter the buildings, creating an evenly lit, bright playing environment. Doors, lighting, insulation, HVAC, flooring and optional liners can be added to most Norseman buildings.
The clear-span interior of a Norseman building gives users the flexibility to design space in an unobstructed, column free area for flexible facility planning and team activities. Norseman Structures offers a full line of standard products, but if the tennis facility needs are unique, a customised structure can be designed to meet individual needs.
Building StrengthNorseman Structures buildings are designed to meet or exceed building code requirements. All designs are researched, developed and tested to ensure they meet the requirements necessary to maintain the quality and structural integrity of every building. Norseman reviews each engineered building design with third party engineering firms to ensure buildings exceed industry standards for strength and functionality, resulting in a safe structure built to last.
Built for long-term durability, Norseman Structures buildings are easy to maintain and in most instances, more cost effective than conventional construction for both the initial install and daily operation. Natural light shining through the translucent fabric cover can reduce or eliminate the need for artificial lighting and interior liners can be added to regulate air temperature in heated structures. Operational expenses for heating and lighting can be significantly reduced in comparison to a conventional building.
Project Management & Quick InstallationNorseman Structures operates over 18,500 m2 of quality controlled manufacturing space - an unmatched manufacturing capacity, giving Norseman the ability to respond to tight manufacturing timelines. Depending upon building requirements, Norseman buildings can be installed in a fraction of the time necessary for traditional structures. Backed by a 10 or 15 year pro rata warranty and a professional service team, Norseman Structures provides expert advice and experienced installation teams. We guarantee the best value for your building investment.
Local Norseman building consultants partner with customers to provide personalised service and ensure the best building solution is provided. Excellence in building design and a focus on safety and quality gives customers confidence in the strength and reliability of a trusted advisor, Norseman Structures - Fiercely Reliable since 1921.
