Temporary Structures, Tents & Overlay

The infrastructure that turns an open site into a usable venue — engineered tents and marquees, flooring, power distribution, fencing and site services, built to withstand Gulf heat, wind and sand.

Overlay engineered for the site, not adapted from a catalogue

Outdoor and open-site events depend entirely on overlay infrastructure — if the tent structure, flooring or power distribution is wrong, nothing else about the event matters. We engineer structures against the specific site conditions: ground type, wind loading, expected footfall and the climate at the time of year.

Our scope covers clear-span tents and marquees, framed structures for stages and back-of-house, temporary flooring and decking, perimeter fencing and crowd barriers, power distribution and generators, and climate control for tented spaces in Gulf heat.

We work closely with civil defence and municipality requirements for temporary structures, preparing the technical drawings and certifications authorities typically request before a permit is issued.

Structures & overlay services

Clear-span tents & marquees

Engineered tenting in a range of spans, suitable for exhibitions, ceremonies and outdoor conferences.

Framed structures & staging

Structural framing for stages, viewing platforms and back-of-house areas.

Flooring & decking

Level, load-rated flooring systems over grass, sand or uneven ground.

Fencing & crowd barriers

Perimeter fencing, crash barriers and crowd management infrastructure.

Power & generators

Temporary power distribution, generators and cabling sized to the event load.

Climate control

Air conditioning and ventilation systems for tented spaces in Gulf heat.

Where we build temporary structures

In Saudi Arabia we design and install temporary structures and overlay for outdoor events in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Al Khobar, including the technical drawings needed for civil defence and municipality approval.

In Bahrain we supply tents, flooring and site overlay for outdoor events in Manama and across the Kingdom, engineered to withstand the summer heat and coastal wind.

How a structures project runs

  1. 1. Site survey — We assess ground conditions, access and any wind or load constraints.
  2. 2. Structural design — Tent spans, flooring and power loads calculated and drawn for approval.
  3. 3. Permit documentation — Technical drawings and certifications prepared for civil defence and municipality submission.
  4. 4. Build & installation — Structures, flooring, fencing and power installed to the approved plan.
  5. 5. Live-event support — On-call technical support for power, climate control and structural checks during the event.
  6. 6. Strike & site restoration — Full de-rig and site clean-up on schedule.

Temporary structures & overlay — common questions

Can you handle the civil defence and municipality approvals?

We prepare the technical drawings, material certificates and structural documentation these authorities typically request, and manage the submission process on your behalf.

What ground conditions can you build on?

We regularly install on grass, sand, gravel and paved surfaces — a site survey determines the flooring and foundation approach needed for each.

Can tented structures handle Gulf summer heat?

Yes, we specify climate control systems sized to the tent volume and expected occupancy for warm-weather events.

How much lead time do temporary structures need?

Straightforward tenting can be arranged in a couple of weeks; larger structures needing permit approval should be briefed a month or more ahead.

Do you provide power as well as the structure?

Yes, we size and supply temporary power distribution and generators alongside the structural build, so the two are planned together rather than separately.
