Tensile structures in Surat
Tensile structures, parking sheds and retractable roofs for a humid, fast-growing coastal city.
Covering Surat
Surat sits on the Tapi close to the Gulf of Khambhat, with a humid coastal climate and a heavy monsoon. Its textile markets, diamond offices, industrial estates and new residential towers all have outdoor space that works harder once it is covered.
WhiteShed Solutions LLP designs and fabricates in Thane and installs in Surat with its own crew, for developers, housing societies, factories, showrooms, hotels and restaurants.

Building in Surat
What should a Surat project plan for?
- Humidity and salt: coastal air calls for well-coated steel and sealed connections.
- Heavy monsoon: slopes, gutters and downpipes are sized for intense rain, with water taken away from entrances and parking.
- Hot, bright summers: shade over parking, walkways and outdoor seating matters for much of the year.
Typical projects in Surat
Textile and diamond businesses: entrance canopies, staff and visitor parking, covered walkways. Industrial estates: loading-area and canteen covers. Residential towers and societies: car parking sheds and terrace covers. Restaurants and hotels: retractable roofs and zip screens for rooftop and open seating.
