  Steel structures are a top choice for industrial, commercial and partial residential construction, thanks to their lightweight design, high strength, fast construction and flexible layout. The roof, as the core protective layer of steel structure buildings, directly affects the waterproofing, heat insulation, energy efficiency and service life of the whole building. Different from traditional concrete structures, the roofing materials of steel structures must fit the structural characteristics of light weight and good ductility, and also take into account wind resistance, corrosion resistance and construction convenience. Selecting roofing materials for steel structures is never a simple choice based on price, but a comprehensive decision combining local climate, building function, budget scale and later maintenance needs. This guide sorts out the core functional categories of steel structure roofing materials, with clear analysis of their advantages, disadvantages and applicabl...

 When planning large-span buildings—from industrial warehouses and exhibition halls to transportation hubs—selecting the right roof system is not just a structural decision, but a financial one that impacts budgets for decades. Concrete has long been a traditional option for such projects, valued for its familiarity rather than its long-term efficiency. However, space frame steel roofs have emerged as a superior alternative, delivering cost savings that extend far beyond upfront expenses and align with the practical needs of modern large-span construction. The myth that concrete is the cheaper choice often stems from a narrow focus on material costs alone. While concrete may have a lower price per ton at first glance, this ignores the full scope of expenses that come with concrete roof installation. Space frame steel roofs, by contrast, are engineered for efficiency at every stage, starting with their lightweight and modular design. Unlike concrete roofs, which require massive, rei...

Project Challenges: Double Impact of Typhoons and Earthquakes The coal storage bunker of Power Plant in the Philippines has been facing tests from extreme natural conditions since the planning stage: Climate Challenge : Located in a super typhoon zone with wind speeds of up to 260 kilometers per hour, it withstands fierce storms and heavy rains every year. Geological Threat : Situated in a high seismic intensity zone with Z=0.4, the structural stability must be absolutely guaranteed. Cost Pressure : The client requires strict control over overseas construction costs while ensuring safety, and also demands controllable construction periods. Ultra-Large Scale : With a total height of 48.675 meters and a foundation height of 3.0 meters, the long-span dome design poses a great challenge to structural strength for industrial projects. Solutions: Comprehensive Upgrades from Design to Materials Targeting these pain points, our overseas engineering team has tailor-made a combined solu...
