Why are space frame structures ideal for large-span roofing in Southeast Asia?

-

 Space frame steel structures have become the go-to solution for large-span roofs in Southeast Asia due to their structural efficiency and economic benefits.

Key Technical Advantages:

Lightweight & Strong:

Tubular steel components reduce dead load, making them ideal for warehouse roofing, stadiums, and aircraft hangars.

Modular Fabrication:

Space frames are fully prefabricated offsite and assembled quickly onsite, which is essential in regions with heavy rainfall like Indonesia or the Philippines

Flexible Design Options:

Can span 30m to over 100m without interior columns. Ideal for logistics centers, factories, and public infrastructure.

Cost Control in Volume Construction:

By using triangular or pyramidal grid systems, material consumption is minimized, and labor is reduced.

What are the advantages of using steel grid in green buildings?

-

Steel grid is gaining more and more attention in green buildings, mainly because of its environmental and sustainable advantages: High strength and light weight: The grid structure can cover the space with a large span, reduce the use of columns, improve the efficiency of building space, and save materials. Recyclable: 100% of steel is recyclable and reusable, which is in line with the core concept of "sustainability" of green buildings. Short construction period: The components are prefabricated in the factory and installed quickly on site, which effectively reduces dust and noise pollution and has little impact on the surrounding environment. Strong compatibility with solar energy/green roofs: Steel structures are easy to integrate green building technologies such as solar panels and rainwater collection.

 Airports and stadiums require wide roofs, open spaces, and iconic aesthetics. That’s why more architects choose steel space frames. Here’s how this smart structural solution transforms landmark buildings: 1. Massive Span Without Heavy Supports Steel space frames cover up to 150 meters span with ease—perfect for terminal halls and stadium roofs. 2. Architectural Freedom Curves, domes, cones—you name it. The modular grid of space frames supports almost any geometry. 3. Lightweight but Strong Compared to solid trusses, space frames are lighter but equally strong, reducing the foundation load. 4. Faster On-Site Construction Prefabricated units mean less on-site labor and faster deadlines. Essential for airport expansion and event deadlines. 5. Sustainability and Recyclability Modern projects demand eco-conscious design. Steel is 100% recyclable and supports green building standards. Planning a stadium or airport project? Let us show you how space frame roofing can simplify your desig...

 Educational facilities must be built fast, last long, and adapt to future needs. That’s why more universities and schools are turning to space structures for their sports halls, auditoriums, and lecture centers. 1. Clear Spans for Multi-Use Halls No internal columns means more freedom for: 🏀 Basketball courts 🏸 Badminton arenas 🎭 Drama performances 🎓 Graduation ceremonies 2. Faster Construction = Less Disruption Space structures are prefabricated and bolted , allowing schools to finish builds during vacation periods or in parallel with academic schedules. 3. Durable and Safe Our structures meet international codes for wind, seismic, and crowd loads—ensuring student safety and long-term performance. 4. Light and Energy Efficient Add skylights or ETFE panels to reduce electricity costs. Some schools even integrate solar panels for net-zero goals. 5. Expandable in Phases Universities often grow. Space structures can be extended or retrofitted easily witho...
