Project Overview

Located at Technical College in Heyuan, China, this grandstand tensile membrane canopy was completed in May 2022. The canopy measures approximately 135 m × 12 m, with a steel usage of 31 tons, and a construction period of 35 days. The main steel structure features epoxy zinc-rich primer and white topcoat for corrosion protection and durability. The roof is covered with 1100 g/㎡ white PVDF architectural membrane, B1 fire-rated, compliant with public building safety standards.

Challenge and Solution

Situated over the stadium grandstand, the client required a canopy that provides sun and rain protection while offering a modern aesthetic for spectators and public events. The project adopted a curved tensile membrane design, creating a lightweight, flowing structure that enhances visual appeal and spatial identity.

Installation
and Support

The project was executed by our professional installation team, with safety barriers in place during construction. Key tasks included steel truss hoisting, precise control of structural angles, and accurate fixing of the membrane cables, ensuring uniform stress and smooth membrane surfaces.

Application

Grandstand tensile membrane structures are lightweight, visually striking, and quick to install. They are ideal for stadium grandstands, stages, and various public spaces. For similar projects or customized membrane canopy solutions, please contact our engineering team.
