To add raised seating and rain protection, project renovations added a new fabric structure designed by architect Athos Zaghi with Blackwell Structural Engineers. Walters Inc. collaborated with Tensile Integrity Inc. to fabricate and install the fabric canopy, which included CAST CONNEX’s standardized Diablo Bolted Splices (DBS). Walters seamlessly integrated the DBS to simplify fabrication and site assembly.

The Diablo Bolted Splices do not include cover plates – to showcase the aesthetics and the tectonic expression of the fabric structure, the bolted splices remain exposed adding to the overall appeal of the installation.

CAST CONNEX® Diablo™ Bolted Splices are cast steel fittings that enable unobtrusive field bolted splices in circular hollow structural section (HSS) members. The fittings are designed such that the bolted connection is inboard of the outer diameter of the HSS.
