Full Scope. In-House.

Everything the Project Needs. Under One Roof.

We handle the full structural acrylic scope: design and engineering, fabrication, installation, FRP, inspections, maintenance and restoration, waterproofing and sealing, life support systems and turnkey aquariums. Our in-house crews deliver every service on this page. We hand no scope to a third party at any stage.

SAS crew installing a structural acrylic panel

Engineering, fabrication and installation run as one team. The crew that builds your panels puts them on site, so nothing is lost between stages. When a question comes up, the person who can answer it is already on the project.

01 / Design & Engineering

Design & Engineering

Concrete channel prepared to SAS engineering drawings, ready to receive an acrylic panel

We manage the engineering from initial concept through final installation. That covers panel sizing, material selection, structural analysis, FEA and connection design. We coordinate with architects and engineers of record before fabrication starts, so site issues surface before material is cut.

  1. 01 Feasibility review and concept development
  2. 02 Panel sizing and material specification
  3. 03 Structural analysis, FEA and connection design

02 / Fabrication & Manufacturing

Structural Acrylic Fabrication & Manufacturing

Structural acrylic panel fabricated by SAS

We manufacture custom structural acrylic panels, tanks and specialty structures in the USA to each project's engineering specifications. We fabricate at our Houston, Texas facility and manage material selection, dimensional control and quality checks in-house, from raw sheet to finished component.

  1. 01 Flat, curved and specialty-geometry acrylic panels
  2. 02 Bonding and joining of large-format assemblies
  3. 03 Thermoforming and custom shaping for curved work

03 / Installation

Structural Acrylic Installation

SAS crew installing a structural acrylic panel

Our own crews install residential pool windows and large-format aquarium viewing panels. The crew that built the panels runs the job on site, so field decisions come from people who know the build. We coordinate with engineers and general contractors from delivery and rigging through final sealing.

  1. 01 Pool, aquarium and building panel installation
  2. 02 Large-scale rigging and precision panel placement
  3. 03 Acrylic-to-concrete structural integration work

04 / FRP Fabrication & Installation

FRP Fabrication & Installation

FRP tank and structural acrylic components fabricated by SAS

We design, manufacture and install FRP tanks, liners and specialty structures. FRP often sits alongside structural acrylic on aquarium and pool projects, so we build both in-house and join them into integrated, corrosion-resistant systems. Combined acrylic and FRP scopes run under a single contract.

  1. 01 FRP tank and vessel fabrication work
  2. 02 FRP liners and structural components
  3. 03 Integrated acrylic-to-FRP systems

05 / Inspections

Structural Acrylic Inspections

Diver inspecting an underwater structural acrylic window

We evaluate existing acrylic installations for structural concerns, material deterioration, seal integrity and signs of wear. Our crew inspects the panels, seals and connections on site. You receive a written condition report and a direct recommendation on whether to refurbish or replace the panels.

  1. 01 Panel integrity and structural condition
  2. 02 Optical clarity and surface condition check
  3. 03 Seal and waterproofing performance check
Discuss Your Project

06 / Maintenance & Restoration

Acrylic Panel Maintenance & Restoration

Acrylic channel wall ready for refurbishment and polishing

We restore existing acrylic installations through precision polishing, scratch removal, seal repairs and system refurbishment. Scratches, UV exposure and wear cloud panels over time, and restoration recovers clarity without full replacement. Where seals have failed, we repair them in the same visit.

  1. 01 Polishing and dehazing of acrylic panels
  2. 02 Scratch removal and optical restoration
  3. 03 Seal and gasket replacement on panels
Discuss Your Project

07 / Waterproofing & Sealing

Waterproofing & Sealing

Concrete channel prepared for acrylic joint sealing

We waterproof acrylic-to-concrete interfaces and panel seals, the most common failure points in structural acrylic. We work on new installations and existing structures. The crew that installs the panels handles the sealing, so the interface is built by people who know the connection behind it.

  1. 01 Acrylic-to-concrete joint waterproofing
  2. 02 Rebate and channel sealing at panel edges
  3. 03 Seal replacement on existing installations
Discuss Your Project

08 / Life Support Systems (LSS)

Life Support Systems (LSS)

Aquarium life support system components installed by SAS

We engineer and integrate aquarium life support systems, including filtration, circulation, temperature control and water-quality management. We scope and deliver them alongside the acrylic and FRP enclosure, so the panel builders work directly with the people building the system behind them.

  1. 01 Aquarium life support system design
  2. 02 Filtration and circulation systems
  3. 03 Temperature and water-quality management
Discuss Your Project

09 / Turnkey Aquariums

Turnkey Aquariums

Complete aquarium build delivered turnkey by SAS

We deliver complete aquarium projects from initial concept to final commissioning. That covers engineering, acrylic and FRP fabrication, life support, installation and handover to your team under a single contract. You deal with one accountable contact from the first drawing through the first fill.

  1. 01 Full aquarium concept and engineering
  2. 02 Structural acrylic and FRP fabrication
  3. 03 Life support design and installation

Every Project Starts with a Conversation.

Starting a new build? We scope the work from engineering through installation. Working with an existing structure? We inspect it and tell you whether it needs restoration or replacement. Either way, describe the project and we will confirm what it needs and what it costs to do it right.
