MULTIPLE ARCH SPANS

A series of single radius arch structures sharing a common structural support system as an interior wall. Standard sizes range from 30 feet to 70 feet wide for each span. You can join these spans side by side in many combinations. You have the option to use double, triple, or additional spans.

The Multiple Arch Spans design consists of a series of single radius arch structures that are interconnected, all utilizing a shared, robust structural support system which serves as the interior wall between spans. This innovative approach allows each individual span to be constructed at widths ranging from 30 feet to 70 feet, providing remarkable flexibility for a variety of building layouts and project requirements.

These spans can be seamlessly joined side by side in virtually any combination, making it possible to create expansive clear span spaces tailored to your operational needs. Whether you require double, triple, or even more spans, the modular nature of this system means you can customize the overall building footprint to accommodate large equipment, storage, manufacturing lines, or recreational facilities.

Each span operates independently while maintaining structural integrity through the common support wall, which also simplifies future expansion or reconfiguration. With this design, you can achieve wide, uninterrupted interior spaces that eliminate the need for interior support columns, maximizing functional floor area and improving workflow. Additionally, the multiple arch system offers the same advantages of durable steel construction and efficient assembly found in other arch building designs, ensuring long-lasting performance and protection from the elements.
