ZAHREQ · PROJECT PLANNING GUIDE
1. Define the project location
Country, city and exact site conditions drive wind, climate, corrosion and local approval requirements.
Country and cityCoastal or marine exposureOpen, urban or sheltered terrainHigh heat / UV exposureKnown authority or design-code requirements
2. Define the geometry
Provide the area to be covered, required clear spans, heights, circulation zones and any architectural form already shown in concept drawings.
Overall length × widthRequired clear spanLow and high pointsColumn-free zonesAdjacent buildings and structural interfaces
3. Define performance requirements
Known fire, wind, drainage, translucency, lighting, maintenance and service-life expectations should be identified before membrane selection is frozen.

4. Define project responsibilities
Apollo is supply-only. The project must identify the local engineer, authority pathway, foundation and civil-work responsibility, installation contractor and whether supplier site supervision should be reviewed.

5. Control final geometry
For PTFE and ETFE projects where site erection can affect membrane fit, final supporting geometry should be verified through the approved measurement pathway before the membrane is released for final manufacture.
NEXT STEP
Turn the planning information into a project review.
Send the location, use, dimensions and available drawings. ZAHREQ can then assess the appropriate PTFE, PVDF or ETFE pathway and identify the technical information still required.
