About Hightex

Hightex has a long history of building large span roofs and facades using architectural membranes, exemplified by the Abuja Stadium for the All African Games in 2003 as well as the Berlin Stadium, Germany, used for the most recent FIFA World Cup Final in 2006. 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.

Hightex recently completed its work on the membrane element of the new retractable roof over the Centre Court at the All England Club, Wimbledon. 

In a few weeks Hightex will finalise 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 at the FIFA 2010 Football World Cup. In addition Hightex was awarded the complete membrane facade for the new Green Point Stadium in Cape Town also for the World Cup 2010.
