SPACE STRUCTURES

Roof structure for: Mosque and Dome Stadium, Hall and indoor Stadium, Canopy and Skylight.

SYSTEM

Space Frame adopts the solid balljoint type which in combination with connecting members, enables the most efficient axial load distribution within a structure. Its unique geometry and practical method of installation enhance its appeal to designers.
The system comprises of four major elements:
1. Members/chords or tubes complete with endcones, hexnuts and bolts.
2. Balljoints/nodes made of high grade steel or stainless steel
3. Support points, anchored to columns, beams or direct to the footings
4. Connecting elements to the roofing, wall, cladding or floor panels.

DESIGN

Architects as well as Engineers have a freehand and full back up to materialise any kind of design.
Space Structures can withstand varied kind of heavy loads, static or dynamic and is especially suitable for large span/column free buildings.
Its structural analysis as assisted by Computer Aided programs resulting in optimisation of material and design.

Support system is one of the most important element, engineers are to determine whether hinge, rolls, spring or fixed joints are selected.

A guarantee of 10 (ten) years is provided for the structural performance after handing over of the work.

ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLATION

Space Frame components are easily connected to each other and assembled to the required structural configuration.
Dismantling is as easy as assembling, although when necessary connections can be made permanent.
The basic advantages of spaces structures are: Modular elements, high precision, with the highest and reliable quality, a relative low weight factor and essentially more economical in comparison to conventional structures for large spans.

PRODUCTION

Meticulous and precisionwork with the best quality of workmanship of Space Structure components are made possible due to dicipline of work and quality control matched by advanced, high tech and robotic machineries.
Argonshield Mig Welding with automatic circular welding process is standard for all tubes and pipes connection.

FINISHING

All structural steel components are Hotdip zincalum galvanized. Exposed structures are further painted by Electrostatic powder bakepainted coating , giving bright, striking or harmonious colours. For stainless steel components, a mirror-polished finish gives immaculate appearance.

STANDARDS

Space Frame components complies to the SII, BS, DIN, JIS or ASTM standards for steelwork.
Testing of sample components or system are regularly conducted.

APPLICATION

Whether you design a Roof Structure, Tower, Skylight, Bridge, Pontoon, Barge, Interior, Canopy, Dome, Shopwindow, Platform or anything not imagined before,Space Frame is ready to serve you.
