Membrane constructions for cruise liners

Textil Bau has extensive experience dealing with wharves and shipbuilding, making it a confident and supportive cruise line partner.

The company specialises in membranes for pool areas, sundecks, entrances and event areas on cruise liners. Using elaborate shapes and intelligent technology, the company creates high-quality, modern architectural designs with functional uses.

The lightweight structures are designed by engineering specialists to safely withstand wind velocities of up to 250km/h.

Textil Bau distinguishes itself by offering project management, production, installation and maintenance to provide a professional and economical service.

Past projects have included designs for celebrity cruises on vessels built by Meyer Werft, including Solstice, Equinox, Eclipse, Silhouette and Reflection, where Textil Bau designed, produced and installed approximately 1,600m² of textile roofing for each ship.

Professional consulting for architecturally demanding structures

Comprising architects and engineers, the experienced Textil Bau team works with clients to find a textile solution that is creative, individual and fulfils their requirements.

The company provides a comprehensive consultation service, from definition of the project requirements on-site, to detailed planning, to implementation and maintenance.

Target and result-orientated planning for marine vessels

After the conception and design of the new membrane structure has been completed and passed by the customer, Textil Bau’s planning designers and structural engineers develop the structure up to the implementation phase.

The company aims to provide intelligent and innovative solutions, where sophisticated design is combined with optimised proportions.

In addition, Textil Bau supervises approval planning from the initial phase up to implementation of any necessary permits.
