The Capital Hub is one of the leading shopping malls in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja. Managed by Gallarz Investments, it features 80 retail stores, 10 executive offices, a cinema and entertainment centre, & more.
Gallarz Investments sought a Roof Structure to cover the mall’s internal courtyard/food court, and protect patrons from the harsh elements throughout the year; Nigeria has a hot tropical climate, with a monsoon season that typically lasts over 6 months.
This was a highly complex project, requiring the Roof Structure to be attached to an existing 5-storey building.
Gallarz decided to invest in a DomeShelter™ Structure to fulfil their needs. A Fabric Shelter, made using heavy-duty, translucent Fabric Tarp, allows for transmission of sunlight during the day, filling the food court area with bright natural light, saving on energy costs and improving aesthetics. DomeShelter Australia’s ISO-certified processes and agile manufacturing capabilities mean that even complex orders can be manufactured and delivered from Western Australia to African countries in just a few short months.
More importantly, DomeShelter Australia’s dedicated International Projects team and experienced in-house engineering capabilities ensured that a trustworthy, durable solution would be provided. A comprehensive, Fit-For-Purpose project approach meant for a Shelter Solution that balances all the needs of this complex project. A custom mounting solution was developed to ensure optimum safety and full compliance.
The Capital Hub’s DomeShelter™ Structure now protects patrons and assets from the harmful effects of the elements, allowing for events to be held in the courtyard year-round.
