Project Overview
This project is located in Shaoguan, China, and involves a tensile membrane canopy for electric vehicle parking at Qianhai Life Hospital. The project was completed in August 2024 with a construction period of approximately 20 days. The total covered area is about 863 m².
The main structure adopts an I-beam steel system with a total steel consumption of approximately 9 tons. All steel components are treated with an epoxy zinc-rich primer and white topcoat, providing enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
The roof is covered with 1100 g/m² white PVDF architectural membrane, featuring B1 fire-retardant performance, fully compliant with safety requirements for semi-permanent buildings and public facilities.
Challenge and Solution
Located within the hospital’s internal parking area, the canopy was required to meet the following criteria:
Reliable sun shading and rain protection
Clean, practical, and unobtrusive appearance
As membrane carports are a mature and standardized solution, we proposed an I-beam double-cantilever tensile membrane layout, which was fully approved by the client for its functionality, cost efficiency, and suitability for hospital environments.
Installation
and Support
Installation was carried out by our professional construction team using a segmented installation method tailored to site conditions. Special attention was given to membrane tensioning to ensure uniform stress distribution and smooth membrane surfaces.
The installation process was well-organized and efficient, and the project was completed on schedule with results fully aligned with the original design objectives.
Application
Thanks to their lightweight structure, fast installation, and high adaptability, membrane carport systems are widely used in parking areas, hospital facilities, and electric vehicle charging stations.
