Retractable Tunnel Solution for Equipment Protection at a Gas-Fuelled PowerStation.

Stuart Canvas was recently tasked with delivering a weatherproof cover solution
for a gas-fuelled power station located in the Southeast. The project formed part of a
planned shutdown and refurbishment, where protecting vital equipment and
machinery from the elements was a key requirement.

The client needed a flexible industrial canopy capable of providing both full and
partial coverage across a surface area exceeding 20 metres by 8 metres. A crucial
aspect of the brief was that the cover could be easily extended or retracted daily,
to align with site operations throughout the shutdown period.

To meet this demand, Stuart Canvas designed and installed a custom retractable
tunnel system that could operate in both directions. This temporary cover solution
offered the ideal balance of versatility, durability, and ease of use — delivering
reliable weather protection and operational flexibility.

The installation was completed by our experienced team — Jamie, Dylan, Gary, and
Rob — who were commended for their efficiency, attention to safety, and high-quality
workmanship. The client shared the following feedback:

“Jamie, Dylan, Gary, and Rob were an absolute credit to your company. They worked
efficiently, maintained a high standard of safety and professionalism throughout, and
were clearly well-coordinated as a team. The job was completed to an excellent
standard.

I’d like to give a special mention to Rob, the supervisor. He included me in every step
of the process — keeping me updated with progress, explaining the next steps, and
making sure I was comfortable with how the work was being carried out. His
communication and attention to detail were spot-on and made the whole installation
process run smoothly from start to finish.”

At Stuart Canvas, we specialise in delivering bespoke industrial cover solutions to
meet the most demanding project needs. This installation highlights our capability to
provide high-performance retractable canopies for use across the power
generation, construction, and manufacturing sectors.
