Structural Certification


The certification of large portable structures such as stages and tents is a crucial element to launching your public event. The SSL certification service uses a standard set of rules and procedures to prove a structure’s integrity, provided it is installed to specification.

SSL Services:

  • Production of Calcs / Category 3 Structure Report for a temporary structure, permanent structure with tensile component/s or tensile roof.

  • Production of retrospective drawings and calcs based on physical materials.

  • Remodelling and sign-offs of specific structures - custom certification for each structure.

  • Production and sign-off of your essential Tent Book (includes Cat, 3 Structure Report, Drawings, and more).

  • Provision of online Tent Book - password protected area containing all Master documents and on-site Emergency Support details.
