SAFS Steel Structure Space Frame Truss

 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...

 Choosing the right structural system is not just a technical decision—it’s a strategic one. Below is a practical comparison between space structures and other popular systems used in large-span buildings. Structure Type Max Span Weight Aesthetic Install Speed Cost Efficiency Space Structure 30–150m+ Lightweight  Stylish  Fast (bolted)  High (prefab) Steel Truss ≤60m Medium  Bulky  Slower  Moderate H-Beam + Purlins ≤40m Heavy  Basic  Welding-heavy  High labor Concrete Structure ≤25m Very Heavy  Plain  Long time  High cost Key Advantages of Space Structure: ✅ Long Span, No Middle Columns ✅ Faster Erection with Bolted Connections ✅ Architectural Freedom: Domes, Curves, Grids ✅ Lower Foundation Loads = Less Concrete Needed 🔍 Still unsure which structure suits your project? 📊 Request a comparative technical proposal — we’ll give you cost, speed, and engineering dat...

  Modern industrial facilities like aircraft hangars, energy plants, and bulk warehouses require ultra-large spans. Traditional beams are costly and heavy. The solution? Space structures. 1. Spans of 60m, 80m, 100m+ Space structures easily achieve clear spans over 100 meters—without intermediate columns. Perfect for aircraft bays, cranes, or tall storage racks. 2. High Load-Bearing Capacity Despite being lightweight, space structures are incredibly strong—capable of supporting overhead conveyors, piping systems, and rooftop solar panels. 3. Rapid Fabrication and Erection Every component is prefabricated. On-site installation is fast, safe, and less weather-dependent—crucial for tight industrial project timelines. 4. Reduced Maintenance The triangle-based design of space structures offers exceptional stiffness, minimizing deflection and structural fatigue over time. 5. Expandable for Future Growth Many industrial clients prefer scalable buildings. Space structures allow easy latera...

 Sustainability is no longer a trend—it's a global standard. Architects and developers are seeking construction methods that reduce carbon footprint and increase long-term efficiency. Enter the space structure . 1. Lightweight Means Less Material Compared to traditional concrete or truss roofs, space structures use significantly less material—cutting down on steel usage and emissions during transport. 2. Ideal for Daylighting and Natural Ventilation With open grids and long spans, space structures can easily integrate skylights, louvers, and passive ventilation systems—reducing energy loads. 3. 100% Recyclable Steel Space structures are made from structural steel, which is fully recyclable. Even after decades, the material retains value and reduces landfill waste. 4. Lower Foundation Load = Less Concrete The lighter weight of space structures reduces the need for deep foundations, which means less excavation, cement, and emissions. 5. LEED and Green Building Certification F...

  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.

  In recent years, with the in-depth promotion of the "dual carbon" goal and the green development strategy, the construction industry is undergoing a profound change. As one of the important ways to achieve green buildings, the steel grid system is gradually becoming an important structural choice for large public buildings, commercial complexes and industrial facilities with its low carbon emissions, energy-saving and high efficiency, and prefabricated construction. This article will explore the advantages, application cases and future prospects of steel grids to help you understand how this cutting-edge technology can help green building innovation. 1. Green characteristics of steel grids 1.1 Environmental protection and low carbon Traditional building materials are often accompanied by high energy consumption and large amounts of carbon emissions during production and construction. Steel grids use high-strength steel, which not only has high material utilization, but als...
