Sprung Fabric Buildings Are Engineered to Outperform

Sprung invented the tension membrane structure that results in truly rapid construction, total flexibility, reliability and cost-effectiveness. The structure has been proven around the world with thousands of applications ranging from military installations to educational institutions, from oil and gas exploration to disaster recovery operations.

Engineering is the most important factor to consider when choosing a structure. Ours is second to none.

In more than 90 countries, Sprung is at work performing unlike any other building.

NASA-Quality Innovation

The Sprung family name has long been synonymous with custom-made quality shelters that meet unique needs. We patented the tensioned fabric membrane structure as an alternative to existing construction methods, beginning in the late 1970s with structures for the oil and gas industry. After winning the NASA tender to house the Space Shuttle in the early 1980s, our reputation for innovation became known worldwide.

Tested and Proven

Each Sprung fabric structure is manufactured from the highest quality products and materials, and individually tested using strict performance measures. Our structures have been proven to perform in some of the toughest environments in the world, from the hottest deserts to frozen arctic tundras. They have been proven to withstand both hurricanes in the Southern United States and the worst dust storms that the Middle East could throw at them.

  • Sprung structures are designed to meet the Miami-Dade County Hurricane Compliance Code.

  • The only building left standing in Buras, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005 was a Sprung structure.

"Being in business for 120 years offers the advantage of experience. We have had the opportunity to test a wide variety of materials for our structures.  Our corporate philosophy has always been to provide the highest quality structures with the longest possible life for our customers to maximize their return on investment."

- Phil Sprung, President

A Special Space

Beyond the technical merits of your Sprung structure is the wonderful feeling of light and space that results from its design. Natural daylight infuses the space with a warm glow, high roofs create depth and roominess, with glazing walls adding to the open and inviting characteristics of the building envelope.
