Introducing the project of canvas roofing for the welcome gate
Located in Klong Luang, Pathum Thani Province, Thailand, the innovative over-span archway canopy project Dharmakaya is one of the large-scale tensioned canvas works, marking the improvement in architecture and technology in the field of tensioned membrane structures. With a total length of nearly 300m, a height of 25m and a canopy of tensioned canvas over the gate spanning up to 60m, this work not only meets the need for cover but also creates a strong, modern architectural symbol.
Design of large span stretchable gate canvas, freeing up maximum space
This project is designed with a large span requirement to create an open space, not interrupted by traditional support columns. The use of complex structural systems and specially designed profiles helps the project ensure aesthetics while optimizing load-bearing capacity. In particular, the design of the 60m-span arched canopy over the welcome gate not only helps free up space but also brings an impressive visual effect, suitable for the massive scale of Dhammakaya Pagoda.
High-quality materials – Sustainable solutions for canvas canopy for welcome gates
To ensure durability and long-term performance, this project used Serge Ferrari TX30 Type III tarpaulin, one of the tarpaulin lines PVDF High-quality tarpaulin from France. This type of tarpaulin is UV-resistant and has high tensile strength, helping the project operate stably in the harsh climate conditions in Thailand. In addition, this material also has self-cleaning properties, minimizing maintenance costs and ensuring a bright and beautiful appearance.
Professional construction - Meeting strict progress
The implementation of a large-scale canvas canopy for a welcome gate requires the participation of a large and highly skilled workforce. In harsh weather conditions, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius, the construction team overcame challenges to complete each item on schedule. Each stage from structural installation, canvas tensioning, tension adjustment and safety inspection was carried out carefully, ensuring the project met the highest standards.
Safety system - Lightning protection for construction
To ensure safety during operation, a modern lightning protection system has been integrated into the canopy structure. This is an important factor in protecting the entire canopy and the area below from extreme weather events.
Impressive architectural highlights in Thailand
With its strong, modern shape, combined with its grand scale, the canvas canopy of the Dhammakaya Temple's entrance gate not only serves the function of protection but also becomes a unique architectural highlight. The project not only creates a strong visual impression but also demonstrates the intersection between modern technology and traditional elements, suitable for the religious space of the temple.
Affirming the capacity to design and construct tensioned canvas
The successful implementation of this project has contributed to affirming the capacity in designing and constructing large-scale tensile membrane projects. With the ability to meet all technical criteria, strict progress and complex construction conditions, this is an important step forward in applying tensile technology to welcome gates in public and religious works.
Conclude
The project of the canopy over the main gate of Dhammakaya Temple is a clear demonstration of the development of tensile membrane architecture in large-scale projects. With a large span design, high-quality materials, professional construction team and optimal safety solutions, this project not only meets the needs of use but also becomes a remarkable architectural symbol in Thailand.
