How Space Structures Help Upgrade Old Sports Stadiums into Modern Arenas

图片
 Many countries are upgrading outdated sports facilities to meet international standards. A key solution? Space structures — ideal for fast renovation, lightweight roofing, and long-span performance. 1. Upgrade Without Demolishing Space structures can be added on top of existing buildings—saving cost and time. This is perfect for stadiums that can’t afford long closure periods. 2. Large Roof Covers, Minimal Supports Renovated arenas require wide roofing for both players and fans. Space structures provide massive span coverage (over 100m) without center supports blocking the view. 3. Add VIP Areas, Media Decks, and Lighting Rigs With their high load capacity and grid format, space structures easily support additional equipment—LED screens, catwalks, sound systems, and more. 4. Wind and Rain Resistance Boost Modern stadiums must withstand harsh weather. Space structure roofs resist uplift and allow integrated drainage systems. 5. Modern Look, Fast Build A new roof gives th...

Is the grid structure suitable for mosques and churches?

图片
 "Religious buildings such as mosques, churches, and chapels have extremely high requirements for architectural forms. They must not only meet the sense of solemnity and beauty, but also have practicality and structural safety. Space structure grids are being adopted by more and more religious buildings and have become one of the ideal choices. 1. Space structure grids can present the ultimate beauty of domes and vaults Using the ball node grid shell structure, ultra-large span domes can be achieved, perfectly reflecting the domes of Islamic architecture, Byzantine-style domes and Gothic high-top structures. The design is flexible and can present complex geometric shapes according to the requirements of religious buildings. 2. Fast construction and reduced interference with religious activities Traditional masonry structures require long-term wet operations, while space structures use dry connections, which are not restricted by rainy seasons and temperatures, and are quiet and f...

Why are large warehouses increasingly preferring steel structure grids? These 3 reasons are crucial!

图片
"At a time when global warehousing and logistics are developing rapidly, more and more developers and companies are choosing steel structure grid solutions when building large warehouses. Behind this is its comprehensive advantages in space utilization, construction efficiency and structural stability. 1. Large span and no columns: making storage space more flexible Traditional concrete structures are often limited by column spacing, which reduces space availability. The steel structure grid adopts modular node design to achieve a large span of more than 50 meters without columns, which is very suitable for efficient application scenarios such as stacking warehouses and automated logistics systems. 2. Construction period shortened by more than 30% The components of the steel structure grid structure are all prefabricated in the factory, and high-strength bolts are used for on-site installation, which greatly shortens the construction time. In our project case, a warehouse project...

How does the steel structure grid cope with extreme climate and earthquake challenges?

Faced with increasingly frequent extreme climate events, the safety and adaptability of building structures have become the focus of customer attention. Steel structure grids show excellent performance in earthquake and wind resistance, and are particularly suitable for earthquake zones and typhoon-prone areas. 1. Disaster resistance advantages of steel structure grids Flexible nodes: can absorb and disperse external stress; Strong integrity: high structural stability, with redundant design characteristics; Strong rapid repair ability: easier to detect and replace parts after a disaster. 2. Typical application areas Such as Southeast Asia, coastal areas of Africa, Saudi Arabia earthquake zone, etc., we have completed multiple disaster resistance design optimization projects. Such as the case of the logistics warehouse in Nairobi, Kenya. 🌍 At the same time, you can refer to the technical standards issued by the World Center for Disaster Resistance of Building Structures to obtain more ...

What are the best corrosion protection strategies for steel structures in tropical coastal regions?

图片
 In Southeast Asia, particularly in coastal cities such as Surabaya, Da Nang and Johor Bahru, steel buildings must withstand high humidity, salty air and heavy rainfall. To prevent premature deterioration of spaceframe steel structures , contractors must adopt a comprehensive corrosion prevention strategy. Recommended Technology: Hot Dip Galvanising (HDG): Coats steel members with a protective coating of zinc. Widely used for pre-engineered steel buildings near the coast. Provides greater than 25 years corrosion resistance in tropical conditions. Zinc Epoxy Primer + Polyurethane Top Coat: A two-coat system ideal for industrial steel roofing systems and exposed steel columns. Commonly used in logistics centres in the Philippines. Uses weathering steel (e.g. Q355NH): Forms a stable oxide layer to protect the steel beneath. Suitable for building space frames with minimal maintenance requirements. Sealing of bolted and welded nodes: Prevents salt water penetration. Use silicone-based s...

How can you make steel grid frames more durable in coastal or humid environments?

图片
  Environmental stress is a major concern in coastal regions. Here’s how to prolong your structure’s life span: Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG): Protects  steel  from salt corrosion for 25+ years. Anti-Corrosion Coatings: Epoxy zinc primer + polyurethane topcoat works well. Sealed Nodes & Joints: Prevent water ingress through caps and silicone sealants. Material Choice: Use weathering steel (e.g. Corten) or stainless steel at critical zones. users in places like Southeast Asia often search “steel corrosion prevention near the sea” — this kind of content positions you as a regional expert. 🌊 We’ve delivered corrosion-protected steel frames in Malaysia and coastal China — happy to share lessons learned.

About Steel Structure Bolted Ball Joint

图片
 The steel structure bolted ball connection realises the welding-free assembly of the mesh frame nodes through the precision cooperation of the built-in cone head, socket and high-strength bolts, which significantly improves the construction efficiency and stability of the structure, and is especially suitable for large-span space structures. The core principle of the bolt ball node is based on the mechanical transmission path: the tension is transmitted through the steel pipe → cone head → high-strength bolt → steel ball, and the pressure is dispersed to the ball through the sleeve. Its design needs to meet the limitations of ball diameter ≤ 300mm, bolt specification ≤ M64 and other parameters to ensure the node bearing capacity and seismic performance. The co-ordination between the built-in cone head and the sleeve can avoid the weld quality defects caused by the welding of the traditional external cone head, and at the same time reduce the on-site installation errors.

 In the net frame structure building, steel structure bolt and ball connection has a key application method by virtue of its unique structure and performance advantages, which has a significant impact on the stability and construction efficiency of the building. From the mechanical theory, the bolt ball connection uses high strength bolts to fasten, which can effectively transfer the tension and pressure between the rods, and through the reasonable design of bolt specifications and ball node size, it fits the stress characteristics of the net frame structure and guarantees the overall mechanical properties. A large sports stadium adopts net frame structure, using bolt ball connection. During the construction, the standardised bolted balls and rods accelerated the installation process, and after long-term use and monitoring, the structure was stable and there was no problem of connection failure. In the case of a grid structure with bolted ball connections, how do you think the con...
