👉 Project location: Nigerian coast 👉 Project type: Mine warehouse (span 100 metres, length 125 metres) 1. Structural Design  Span and Length:  The mine warehouse has a span of 100 metres and a length of 125 metres, employing a large-span steel structure design to ensure structural stability and load-bearing capacity.  It is recommended to use a steel truss structure or space frame structure to meet the large-span requirements and optimise material usage.  The structural design must consider wind loads, seismic loads, and dynamic loads during the operation of the bucket wheel excavator. Foundation Design:  Since the project is located by the sea, the foundation may be relatively soft. It is recommended to use deep foundation design (such as pile foundations) to ensure structural stability.  Foundation construction must consider the impact of groundwater levels and saline-alkali environments, and foundation reinforcement should be carried out when necessa...

Why Modern Toll Stations Need Advanced Canopy Design?

-

 The primary goal of a toll station canopy is to provide shelter and clear passage. However, outdated designs with numerous supporting columns can impede traffic flow, reduce visibility, and even pose safety risks for drivers. Modern toll station design demands:

Unobstructed Traffic Flow: Maximizing throughput is key. Canopies that eliminate central columns allow for wider, clearer lanes.

Enhanced Driver Visibility: A clear view of the road ahead and signage improves safety and reduces driver confusion.

Architectural Integration: The canopy often serves as a prominent visual element, contributing to the overall aesthetic of the infrastructure.

The Power of Large-Span Steel Canopies

At SAFS Steel Structure, we specialize in engineering and fabricating large-span steel canopy solutions that address these critical needs. Our expertise in structures like steel trusses and space frames allows us to create canopies that:

Maximize Clear Span: Steel's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio enables vast, column-free designs that cover multiple toll lanes efficiently. This significantly improves traffic flow and safety.

Ensure Durability and Weather Resistance: Engineered for specific environmental conditions, our steel canopies withstand harsh weather, including high winds and heavy precipitation, ensuring long-term performance.

Offer Design Flexibility: Steel is highly adaptable, allowing for aesthetically pleasing designs that complement surrounding architecture while maintaining functionality.

Facilitate Efficient Construction: Prefabricated steel components allow for rapid on-site assembly, minimizing construction time and disruption to vital traffic routes.

By choosing a well-designed, large-span steel canopy, toll authorities can significantly improve operational efficiency, enhance driver experience, and create a visually appealing gateway.

What Are The Architectural Features Of The Space Frame Fabrication? Buildings processed by space frame   are a good form of construction, because the materials used are mainly metal, which have better toughness than other materials. This will not only help enhance the load-bearing capacity of the building itself, but also shorten the construction period. To reduce the difficulty of construction, let's talk about the characteristics of space frame   production   buildings： space frame 1. The   components of space   frame has good mechanical properties, and its stiffness and overall stability are better than those of general planar structures. 2. The space frame   structure has certain regularity and is convenient for construction. There are a   large number of same form components and nodes in the space frame   structure, which brings convenience to factory production and structural installation, ensu res   the quality of the project, acceler...

The development status of the space frame structure space frame   structure has been developed greatly in the last 30 years, and has been widely used inside and outside. space frame   structure plan arrangement is flexible, space shape is beautiful, convenient for building shape processing and decoration, decoration, can adapt to different span, different plane shape, different support conditions, different functional needs of the building.   Especially in the roof structure of large and medium span, the space frame   structure shows its superiority and is used in large number of large sports buildings, public buildings, industrial buildings, and also widely used in the roof of some small buildings, such as gas stations, toll stations, large canopies. In recent years, with the wide application of electronic computers and the development of computing technology, the design efficiency of the space   frame structure has been greatly improved. The construction and i...

What is the truss welding method?

图片
  truss roof Most of the rods in joist structures are welded at the nodes. Before welding, the webs and chords need to be cut in advance according to the shape of the weld seam of each member to be welded, which requires cutting of the web ends and slotting of the chords. Since the joist structure is intersected by coherent line between the rods and rods, the shape of rod end section is complicated, so in the actual cutting process, two methods of mechanical automatic cutting process and manual cutting process are generally used.
