Project Overview
Located in Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center, China, this project was completed in 2023 with a total coverage area of approximately 2,968 sqm. Designed as a stadium grandstand canopy, it provides effective sun and rain protection. The structure adopts a tie-rod truss steel system with a hat-shaped tensile membrane roof. All steel components are protected with epoxy zinc-rich primer and white topcoat, while the roof uses 1300 g/㎡ white PTFE membrane with B1 fire rating, meeting semi-permanent building and public safety standards.

Challenge - Solution
The client required a modern tensile membrane canopy for the school stadium stands, integrated with the existing grandstand concrete structure. Based on these requirements, a tie-rod hat-shaped tensile membrane system was developed. The columns are anchored to the grandstand foundation, and high-durability PTFE membrane is applied, ensuring structural stability, long service life, and a clean, modern appearance.
