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 - 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 - 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.
