Please describe the project specifications

Large scale public stadium with tensional roof system and entire project consists of 48 roof membrane panels and 24 vertical facade membrane panels. The facade panel is a skeleton membrane. The concealed fixing detail without waterproof membrane is used at the facade membrane partition which improve beauty of building appearance and achieve architect's intentions in the meantime.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The PTFE membrane covers the stadium stands for shade and rain protection. People can avoid the wind and rain under the canopy during daytime and enjoy the sun. At night, LED lighting system show an excellent visual effect and be a landmark of Zaozhuang City.

The roof adopts a spoke type tension cable structure flexible system. Each roof membrane must pass through the aluminum alloy fixture on the membrane arch support at the same time. The precision of cable system and the membrane panel fabrication is highly required to realized final image of entire structure.


What were the results of the project?

One of the most difficult world-class cable membrane structure raises the bar for what a stadium can be and be an successful case study for domestic membrane association.
