Muscat, Oman, 20 October 2010 - Global Exhibitions & Conferences LLC (GEC), the organiser of next year's first-ever Oman Construction Summit, has recently been named as the authorized distributor in the sultanate of an innovative building material from Sprung Instant Structures.
Based in Calgary, Canada, with a regional office in Bahrain, Sprung Instant Structures is the developer and manufacturer of tensioned membrane structure, which serves as a cost-effective alternative to conventional construction. The product offers builders a wide range of advantages, including speed of construction, flexibility in design, and lower overall costs.
"We are highly pleased to make this product available for the first time in the sultanate, and we are confident that it will be widely adopted by many industries, especially those that want to have something built fast without compromising on safety and durability," said C.J. Paul, General Manager of GEC.
Paul pointed out that the Sprung structure is made up of three major components: an aluminum substructure, an architectural membrane, and fiberglass insulation. Its unique components make it lightweight, easy to assemble, energy-efficient as well as suitable for any branding requirement because it is available in a wide range of colours. Apart from the structure itself, Sprung also offers various types of accessories, including glazing walls, doors and windows, canopies and translucent skylights, thus providing a complete building solution to clients.
A large number of Sprung structures have already been built in many countries worldwide, and they are being used to serve the varied building requirements of many industry sectors, including oil & gas, events and hospitality, aviation, construction, mining, automotive as well as the military.
According to Paul, Sprung structures can be used to quickly fill the need for temporary field offices, on-site accommodation for workers, equipment storage areas, on-site cafeteria or mess hall, warehousing, enclosed fabrication areas, and other types of permanent or semi-permanent structures. He stressed that with the company having over 2 million square feet of available inventory at all times, Sprung can quickly respond to any immediate structure requirement worldwide.
"Sprung structures are increasing in popularity throughout the Middle East region, and by partnering with GEC, we look forward to bringing this innovative building technology to Oman to effectively serve the requirements of various industries," said Richard Pereira, Regional Manager - Middle East of Sprung Instant Structures E.C.
GEC is an Omani event management company that is organising a full range of new exhibitions and conferences in support of the sultanate's continued industrial growth and economic development. The company is manned by a team of dedicated professionals who have extensive experience in managing major trade exhibitions, technical conferences, consumer fairs, festivals and other types of events.
