If your work involves maintenance, engineering, or facilities management, we’re here to help you solve specific equipment and protection problems using the most durable fabric and innovative designs. Beyond standard protective covers, we engineer custom equipment kits, thermal barriers, and industrial screens designed to keep your infrastructure running.
Industrial fabrics are lightweight, flexible, and often more cost-effective than rigid wood or metal alternatives, yet they offer superior resistance to UV, abrasion, and extreme temperatures. Whether you are looking to extend the life of critical machinery or need a custom stowage system for specialized tools, we combine technical material expertise with creative problem-solving to get your project moving forward.
Mobile Infrastructure Protection: San Diego Airport Diesel Generator When critical equipment is on the move, every component needs protection. This custom-fit cover shields both the large-scale diesel generator and its transport trailer at the San Diego International Airport. Fabricated using Top Notch fabric, it provides a rugged, all-in-one barrier against high-UV exposure and salt air, protecting everything from the generator housing to the trailer’s tires and electrical systems.Protecting the Controls A look at our custom-fit vinyl covers for heavy machinery operating stations. Built for durability and ease of use, these covers provide an essential layer of protection for control interfaces in high-traffic industrial environments.Custom Applique sign in Mission Beach San Branded Protection: Belmont Park “Hangtime” Attraction A custom-engineered cover doesn’t just protect your investment—it enhances your brand. This heavy-duty tarp for the Belmont Park “Hangtime” attraction features a large-scale custom applique logo, ensuring the ride remains a focal point of the park even when not in operation. It provides a clean, professional appearance while shielding sensitive ride components from the coastal San Diego elements.Deployment Ready: Prudhoe Bay, Alaska Logistics meets high-stakes engineering. Pictured here are dozens of our custom expedition kit bags staged in a Prudhoe Bay warehouse, awaiting transport to the Arctic Ice Sheet. By utilizing a strict color-coding system and incremented labeling, we ensure that complex equipment sets remain organized and 100% accounted for in the world’s most demanding environments. .
Common Area Protection: Modern Office Courtyard Maintaining the “like-new” appearance of outdoor office furniture is a constant challenge for property managers. Pictured here is a custom-tailored sofa cover and a set of built-in couch protectors designed for a modern commercial courtyard. These covers provide a precise, high-end fit that shields expensive upholstery from UV degradation, dust, and coastal moisture, ensuring common areas remain inviting and operational year-round.
Wind Protection: Carnitas’ Snack Shack, San Diego Embarcadero Operating on the water brings unique challenges, particularly high winds and salt spray. We applied our specialized marine canvas expertise to design these compact, narrow clear vinyl windows. Built to withstand the harsh Embarcadero environment, these panels provide a reliable windbreak for customers while maintaining a clear view of the harbor. When not in use, the lightweight design allows them to be rolled up and stored discreetly under the bar counters.Engineering Precision with Minimal Data We don’t always need the physical object in our shop to create a perfect fit. This drone boat cover was designed remotely using CAD, based on just two technical drawings provided by the client’s engineering department. The result was a custom, high-security cover that protected sensitive onboard technology from both the elements and prying eyes, demonstrating our ability to bridge the gap between rough measurements and final fabrication.Protecting an Icon: The DSV Alvin Shroud Few vessels in history have contributed more to our understanding of the ocean than the DSV Alvin. We were commissioned to engineer a multi-section protective cover for this historic submersible, designed to withstand the rigorous demands of deep-sea research missions. A critical challenge was the fore-section, which we designed with a modular, high-volume fit to accommodate the wide array of scientific instruments that are swapped out between dives. It is an honor to provide the primary shield for a vessel that will one day likely sit in the Smithsonian.
Extreme Environment Safety Padding: Belmont Park “Shipwreck” Standard safety pads often fail prematurely in coastal environments due to “vinyl rot” from salt air and UV degradation. For the new Shipwreck attraction at Belmont Park, we engineered these truncated pyramid pole pads using high-performance solution-dyed acrylic fabric. Unlike traditional vinyl, this material remains soft and flexible while offering industry-leading UV resistance, ensuring the pads survive the punishing San Diego sun and salt spray long after standard covers have cracked.
Collaborative Engineering: Portable Simulation Tables We partnered with Simtable to develop a deployable solution for their interactive wildfire training systems. Tasked with creating a portable sandbox that could be shipped globally, we engineered a foldable table featuring a hybrid of rigid and flexible inserts. This design provides the structural integrity needed to contain “walnut shell sand” during active use, while the Velcro-locking corners allow the unit to be broken down in seconds. Once emptied, the entire table rolls into a compact cylindrical bag for easy transport to fire departments and field training sites worldwide.
Engineering the Sphere: San Diego FC Sculpture Covering an 8-foot soccer ball for San Diego FC was a unique exercise in complex geometry. Because a perfect sphere cannot be flattened into 2D planes without distortion, we worked with a faceted design to achieve the desired scale and precision. This project required calculating exact panel dimensions to ensure the textile skin maintained a drum-tight fit over the structural facets, proving that even “fun” projects require serious engineering.ADA Equipment Protection: Hotel Pool Access Covers Maintaining specialized accessibility equipment is essential for hospitality safety and compliance. We fabricated these custom covers for a hotel’s handicap-access pool seating and supporting machinery. Engineered to withstand constant exposure to chlorine, moisture, and high UV, these covers keep sensitive hydraulic and electronic components protected from the elements. The tailored fit ensures a professional appearance for the pool deck while keeping the equipment clean and ready for immediate guest use.Security & Protection for Public-Facing Venues: Carnitas’ Snack Shack For high-traffic locations like the San Diego Embarcadero, outdoor bars require more than just weather shielding. We engineered this massive custom cover for Carnitas’ Snack Shack to serve as a nightly security perimeter. Designed to enclose a complex array of built-in appliances, the cover is built for high-frequency use, standing up to the daily abrasion of being pulled on and off. To ensure the bar area stays dry and mold-free, we integrated strategic screen venting and a tensioned profile that prevents water from pooling on the large flat surfaces between the bar sections.
Industrial Problem Solving: NOAA Research Vessel Shrouds
Industrial Problem Solving: NOAA Research Vessel Covers Protection requirements often extend beyond the reach of the elements. Even when stored indoors, these NOAA research vessels faced a unique environmental threat: conductive bauxite dust from the adjacent warehouse unit. This fine particulate matter can infiltrate warehouse spaces and settle into sensitive electronics, leading to catastrophic corrosion and electrical short circuits. We engineered these full-enclosure shrouds to create a hermetically-sealed barrier for the entire hull and deck machinery. This project demonstrates our ability to identify site-specific risks and provide mission-critical solutions for government agencies and scientific organizations.
