Under the Dome, Defining New Landmarks in East Africa: Empowering Public Spaces with Our Bespoke Design

  On the skylines of Nairobi, Addis Ababa, and Dar es Salaam, modern municipal buildings are rising. With East Africa’s economic growth and the preparation for major international events and cultural festivals, stadiums, museums, and convention centers are no longer just functional structures – they have become the “calling cards” that showcase a city’s ambition and vitality.   However, when developing such large-scale public buildings, owners and government bodies often face a key challenge: how to achieve unobstructed, large-span spaces while balancing aesthetics and safety? Traditional concrete structures struggle to meet the open-view requirements of stadiums or the artistic fluidity of museums. That is exactly where our expertise comes in. As a team specialized in steel structure design with multiple successfully delivered municipal projects in East Africa, we deeply understand the social significance of these buildings. We provide not just steel structures, but fully tai...

The process difference between spray welding and spray painting in the processing of space frame accessories

-

 There are two main forms of welding in the processing technology of space frame accessories, one is spray welding; One is spraying. The ultimate purpose of these two technologies is to make the space frame accessories have good impact resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and mirror-like appearance. Have you ever known the difference between these two techniques? Under what circumstances is the spray welding effect better? Next, let's learn the following specific content together!

Spraying materials are different, spray welding requires the use of self-fluxing alloy powder, and spraying is not high requirements for the self-fluxing of powder, and not necessarily self-fluxing alloy powder, a variety of self-fluxing alloy powder can be used for spray welding and can be used for spraying, but spraying powder does not have self-fluxing can only be used for spraying and not for spray welding process.

In the process of spraying and spraying welding, the preheating temperature before spraying is different, the influence of heat on the workpiece is different, and the organization and performance of the workpiece after spraying are also different.

The coating density is different, the spray welding layer is dense, and there are a few pores in the spray layer.

The ability to bear the load is different, the spray layer can generally withstand a large area of contact, mostly used in the working surface with lubrication conditions, mating surface and other working conditions with small forces, while the spray welding layer can withstand a larger impact force, extrusion stress or contact stress.



Spray welding process should be selected in the following situations:

(1) The surface load of various carbon steel and low-alloy steel is large, especially the impact load, which requires the coating and the matrix to be bonded to the workpiece with the strength of 350-450N /mm2.

(2) Used in corrosive media, requiring dense coating and no porosity.

(3) The original design of the workpiece surface adopts quenching, carburizing, nitriding, hard chromium plating and other processes, requiring a high surface hardness.

(4) The working environment of the workpiece is harsh, such as strong abrasive wear, erosion wear, cavitation and so on.

(5) oxy-acetylene flame alloy powder spray welding process is suitable for surface strengthening or repair of various carbon steel and low alloy steel parts,

Spray welding process cannot be used in the following situations:

(1) Materials lower than the melting point of the alloy, such as aluminum and its alloys, magnesium and its alloys, brass, bronze.

(2) The workpiece is a slender shaft or a very thin plate and does not allow deformation.

(3) The original design of the workpiece is very demanding, and the metallographic organization is not allowed to have any change.

What is a coal bunker?

-

Coal bunker , is a structure used for storing coal. Coal bunkers play an important role in thermal power plants, coal mines and coal marshalling stations. Depending on the specific application scenario and design, there are various types of coal bunkers, such as circular coal bunkers, square coal bunkers and open coal yards. Safety Management of coal bunkers Preventing spontaneous combustion of coal: Since coal itself contains certain moisture and volatile substances, long-term exposure to the air may lead to spontaneous combustion, so the safe management of coal bunkers is of great significance in preventing spontaneous combustion of coal. Ensure the quality of coal: coal in the coal bunker usually needs to be stored for a long time, if not managed properly, it may lead to the decline in the quality of coal, such as sulphurisation, weathering and other phenomena, so it is necessary to ensure the quality of coal by strengthening the safety management of the coal bunker. Improve the eco...

What is the difference between a single-layer reticulated shell and a double-layerreticulated shell?

图片
  The differences between single-layer reticulated shells and double-layer reticulated shells are as follows: Structural Configuration   Single-layer reticulated shell: Composed of a single layer of members, with the members directly connected to form a grid structure . The node configuration is relatively simple, typically employing rigid connections that allow the members to bear not only axial forces but also bending moments and shear forces.   Double-layer reticulated shell: Consists of upper and lower parallel layers of members connected by web members, forming a truss-like structural system. The nodes are generally hinged, and the members primarily bear axial forces. Its configuration is relatively complex, requiring more members and nodes to ensure structural stability and load-bearing capacity. Structure Single-layer mesh shell: composed of one layer of rods, the rods are directly connected to form a mesh structure, the node structure is relatively simple, usually...

What are the differences between bolted ball grids and welded ball grids?

-
图片
 There are a number of differences between bolted ball grids and welded ball grids in terms of fabrication, construction and design. The following are specific comparisons: 1. Manufacturing process: The manufacturing of bolted ball net frame is mainly carried out in the factory, using mechanical shot blasting to remove rust, and then spraying paint, plastic spraying or zinc spraying treatment to enhance corrosion resistance.  The steel pipe and welded seam of welded ball mesh frame can only be descaled manually on site, and then paint or fireproof coating is brushed. For the welded part, it needs to be descaled and brushed at a stage to maintain, which increases the cost of later use and affects the safety of the structure. 2. Construction process: 70% of the workload of bolted ball grid frame is prefabricated in the factory, 30% of the workload is installed at the site, only a wrench is needed to tighten the bolts at the site, which is easy and fast, and can be constructed ...
