About Hightex
Hightex has a long history of designing and installing large span roofs and facades using tensile polymer membranes, exemplified by the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Germany, used for the most recent FIFA World Cup Final in 2006. In the case of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Hightex has completed the membrane roof/facade as part of the upgrading of the First National Bank (FNB) Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, which will be the stadium for several first and second round matches, one quarter-final and the final match. In addition Hightex was awarded the complete membrane facade for the new Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, also for the World Cup 2010
In 2006 Hightex completed one of the largest membrane projects in the world, designing and constructing the energy-saving, sound-optimised, triple layer membrane roof for the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand.
In May 2009, Hightex completed two significant contracts: the membrane element of the new retractable roof over the Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon and the innovative roof over the Dolce Vita Shopping Mall outside Lisbon in Portugal.
