Project Overview: Installation of Ambassador Signature yacht canopy system in Lan Ha Bay
Project yacht canopy Ambassador Signature is a technical solution deployed for the rooftop bar area, aiming to create a high-class functional space, capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of the marine environment while still ensuring aesthetics in harmony with the overall architecture of the yacht.
- Investor: Ambassador Signature Cruise
- Category: Tension membrane architectural canopy for rooftop bar
- Main materials: PVDF stretch film, 304 stainless steel structure and accessories
- Location: Lan Ha Bay, Vietnam
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
Implementing a construction project on a yacht poses many unique technical challenges, requiring the solution to meet strict criteria:
- Environmental resistance requirements: The offshore environment places the highest technical demands on corrosion resistance. All materials must withstand high concentrations of salt in the air, intense UV radiation and constant humidity.
- Structural requirements: The roof system must have a compact structure so as not to affect the center of gravity and stability of the yacht. At the same time, the structure must be calculated to withstand large wind loads when the yacht moves at high speed.
- Logistics and schedule requirements: The installation process required quick and accurate installation within the yacht’s short mooring period to minimize impact on commercial schedules.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To solve the above problems, Flexiiform's team of engineers has come up with a comprehensive technical solution, from material selection, structural design to construction process.
Selection of Engineering Materials for the Marine Environment
PVDF stretch film: The material chosen is an architectural membrane with PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) coating. This is a chemically inert polymer that provides UV resistance, resists salt corrosion and prevents the growth of mold, ensuring longevity and aesthetics of the roof surface.
Stainless Steel 304: The entire load-bearing frame system and connecting components use 304 stainless steel. This material is selected for its resistance to oxidation and corrosion, ensuring the durability of the structure under continuous operating conditions at sea.
Optimal Pyramid Structure Design
The conical structure is chosen to create a roof system with high geometric rigidity and effective drainage and ventilation. This shape helps the membrane to always be in a stable tensioned state, avoiding vibration or water stagnation on the surface. The process design and construction of roof performed synchronously, ensuring absolute compatibility between the frame system and the canvas surface.
Optimized Machining and Installation Process
All components are precisely machined at the factory within 1 week according to detailed technical drawings. On-site installation is carried out and completed within 1 day, following strict procedures to ensure safety and not affect other systems on the yacht.
Results and Performance Evaluation
System yacht canopy Ambassador Signature, after completion, fully met technical and operational requirements and was highly appreciated by the investor:
- About function: The canopy provides shade and effective rain protection for the bar area, enhancing the passenger experience.
- About durability: The use of specialized materials has ensured good resistance to real weather conditions, with no signs of corrosion or deterioration.
- About construction efficiency: The progress of design, processing (1 week) and installation (1 day) has proven the effectiveness of the solution, helping the investor save time and quickly put the project into operation.
- Aesthetically: The modern designed canopy has become an architectural highlight, contributing to enhancing the luxury and class of the yacht.
