Coating Costs for Steel Structure

space frame coal storage shed

The cost of coating steel structure is made up of a number of factors. These are:
1.The type of steel – size, shape, section.
2. The quantity of steel.
3. The location of the project with respect to the coating provider, the fabricator and the site.
4. The regional cost of labour.
5. The material cost (paint components/zinc/ chemicals).
6. The cost of surface preparation (abrasive lasting/chemical/mechanical).
7. The cost of application – number of coats, plant capability, processing time.
8. Logistic costs – inspection, loading, transport, erection.
9. Post erection costs – remediation of handling damage, on-site completion.
For applied coatings (paint, metallising) the surface area of the steel structure and the complexity of the fabrication will be the most significant factors influencing the cost. Logically, thin steel sections with high surface area per tonne will absorb more labour and materials than heavy structural sections.

Shenzhen Bay Sports Center

图片
The spatial  structure is particularly favored by large-scale stadium buildings because of its advantages of reasonable stress, beautiful shape, complex free three-dimensional space and minimum internal support mutual interference. The integrated design of the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center places the stadium, gymnasium and swimming pool under a white giant grid-like steel structure roof. The soft-line roof is like an incubator for sports athletes who break the cocoon and rush to the world. The novelty and unique shape are similar to the design method of "Bird's Nest". The unique structure of "One Field and Two Pavilions" makes the construction of "Spring Cocoon" more difficult than that of Bird's Nest . The steel structure of the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center is a large-span complex space structure. The steel structure roof is composed of a single-layer reticulated shell (stadium, large tree square and other public areas), a double-layer curved ...

Safety management method of space frame construction

图片
1.Provide safety education and training to workers and relevant safety management personnel before the construction of the space frame structure, complete technical safety disclosure, strengthen safety awareness and safety responsibility awareness; 2.When working at height, workers should be reminded to take protective measures, such as properly wearing safety belts and helmets; 3.In the cross work of network structure, communication should be done in advance without affecting each other and the work should be completed in an orderly manner; 4 . I n bad weather, can not construction do not construction, to ensure their own safety; LF is a professional manufacturer and engineering company for space frame and steel structure projects.Do you have a construction project we can help with?

Bulk method for installation of  space frame 

图片
The installation of the space  frame is done in bulk.The operation process is as follows: setting out, checking the line, installing the lower chord plane grid, installing the upper chord inverted triangle grid, installing the lower chord positive triangle grid, adjusting, fastening, welding and acceptance of supports, checking the concrete strength of the column top, checking the specimen report. After qualified, the line setting and acceptance of the column top can be carried out at high altitude. Installation method of space frame : Before the space frame assembly unit node, the parts must be checked repeatedly, and the Numbers should be put in the seat in order.After each unit node is assembled, the tightening degree of the bolt shall be checked with the afterhand.After a certain area is installed, the lower chord is supported with temporary support to correct its lower chord elevation.After the installation of the entire network, re-check the fastening bolts, and remove ...
