Project Overview: Renovation of Dam Sen Nuoc roof using tensile membrane architecture
Project Dam Sen Nuoc canopy is a comprehensive renovation project of the roofing system in the main lobby area of Dam Sen Water Park. The tensile membrane architectural solution was chosen to replace the old, degraded structure, not only solving the safety and shielding issues but also bringing a new, modern architectural appearance suitable for a dynamic entertainment space.
- Investor: Dam Sen Water Park
- Category: Over-span canopy for main hall and event area
- Structure: Steel frame system and corrugated PVDF membrane
- Main materials: FlexiiPVDF stretch film, steel structure
- Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The existing roofing system at the main lobby of Dam Sen Water Park has seriously degraded after many years of operation in a high humidity environment, no longer meeting safety and aesthetic standards. The main technical issues that need to be addressed include:
- Structural degradation: The old steel frame system is rusted, the structure is cracked and weakened, posing a potential safety risk.
- Loss of waterproofing: The old roofing was leaking, temporary repair by covering with PVC tarpaulin did not bring long-term effectiveness and lost its aesthetic value.
- Outdated aesthetics: The old design is no longer suitable for the image of a modern, dynamic entertainment area.
- Technical requirements for new solution: A structure that is durable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing is needed, and especially, the renovation process must ensure that it does not disrupt the park's business operations.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, Flexiiform has coordinated with the design unit to provide a comprehensive technical solution, from conceptual design, material selection to strict construction process.
Wave Structure Design
Based on the investor's request, the design solution is a roof system with a wavy shape, inspired by the image of leaves and water. This design not only creates softness and harmony with the theme of the water park but is also technically optimized, helping to drain rainwater effectively and create natural light spaces, bringing an airy feeling to the space below.
Technical Material: FlexiiPVDF stretch film
The chosen covering material is FlexiiPVDF membrane. This is a composite material with a core of reinforced polyester fabric, protected by a PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) coating on both sides. This coating has the function of UV resistance, anti-mold and anti-fouling, giving the material a design life of 15-20 years. The choice of white color for the membrane helps to reflect most of the heat radiation, keeping the space below cooler. This is the basic material solution for the constructions. architectural stretch canvas modern.
Detailed Construction and Renovation Process
The construction process is carefully planned and controlled to ensure absolute safety and no disruption to park operations:
- Structural Survey and Analysis: The team of engineers conducted a survey of the current situation, then performed load analysis (wind, static load, live load) to come up with an optimal new frame and foundation design plan.
- Dismantling old structure: Plan to dismantle the old frame and roof system in parts, ensuring safety and not affecting neighboring areas.
- Operational Guarantee: Set up separate walkways and barriers, cover the construction area with tarpaulins to ensure safety and aesthetics, and help the park still welcome visitors normally.
- Install new frame system: New steel frame system, precisely machined at the factory, transported and installed at the construction site according to technical drawings.
- Stretching and finishing: FlexiiPVDF membrane panels are deployed and stretched according to the calculated tension, ensuring a flat, beautiful and stable roof surface.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Renovation project Dam Sen Nuoc canopy completed, bringing about a comprehensive change and excellently meeting the set goals:
- About safety and durability: Completely replace the old structure with a new, safe, solidly structured and long-lasting roofing system, completely solving the problems of leaks and rust.
- About function: Provides effective sun and rain protection for the entire main hall area, creating a more versatile, bright and airy event space.
- Aesthetically: The unique wave design has brought a new, modern and iconic look, in line with the theme of the water park.
- About construction efficiency: The project was completed on schedule without disrupting the park's business operations, demonstrating professional project management and organization capabilities.
