SAFS Steel Structure Space Frame Truss

Step 1: Concept & Feasibility Meet with clients to discuss needs: function, span, budget Propose initial structural forms (flat grid, double-layer dome, etc.) Use structural analysis software to simulate loads and optimize member sizes Step 2: Design & Detailing Create CAD/BIM models with joint layouts and member dimensions Define single-layer vs. double-layer systems, node types (e.g. ball joints) Deliver renderings and node-detail drawings for client approval Step 3: Factory Fabrication & Quality Control Prefabricate all members and nodes in certified factories Enforce tight tolerances, label all parts for easy field assembly Apply corrosion protection: hot-dip galvanizing or coating Step 4: Packing & Logistics Package modules to container dimensions for shipment Provide packing layouts, shipping plan, and delivery timeline Step 5: On‑site Assembly & Installation Client team gets trained for installation supervision Crane‑l...

 Modern buildings are evolving. They’re not just strong—they’re smart, light-filled, and energy-generating. This is where space structures shine, especially when combined with glass, ETFE membranes , or photovoltaic panels . 1. Crystal-Clear Canopies with Space Structures Whether you’re designing an airport, museum, or botanical garden, space structures can support large areas of glass or ETFE to create transparent, open-air atmospheres. 2. Lightweight = Better for Membrane Roofs ETFE is incredibly light. Space structures are the perfect frame—strong, geometric, and capable of holding tensioned films or multi-layer air cushions. 3. Solar-Ready for Energy-Efficient Buildings Need to reduce energy use? Space structures can integrate BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaics) —turning your roof into a power source. 4. Seamless Engineering Compatibility Our space structure designs include pre-set fixing nodes and clamps for glass/film/solar panels—making installation clean and le...
