Project overview: Construction of Indoor Hua stadium roof with an area of 5,915 m²
Project stadium canopy Indoor Hua is a large-scale architectural project, applying advanced tensile membrane technology to cover the entire grandstand and stadium area with a total area of 5,915 m². This project solves complex technical problems of large span, structural safety and optimizing microclimate conditions for a national-level multi-purpose sports space.
- Investor: Huamark Indoor Stadium (Sports Authority of Thailand)
- Category: Full Coverage for Multi-Purpose Stadium
- Coverage area: 5,915 m²
- Structure: Space Frame and PTFE membrane structural system
- Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project is being implemented with the aim of modernizing a multi-purpose stadium, allowing the organization of national and international sports and cultural events in all weather conditions. Key technical requirements include:
- Over the extremely large aperture: The highest technical requirement was to cover the entire stadium space without any internal support columns, ensuring unobstructed views from all stands.
- Absolute structural safety: The structure must be designed and calculated to meet strict international construction standards, capable of withstanding severe loads such as storm winds, heavy rains and potential seismic activities.
- Optimize the competition environment: The roof system must provide diffuse, even, glare-free natural light, while controlling temperature and acoustics to create an ideal competition and viewing environment.
- Durability and longevity of the project: A roof should be an asset with a life cycle of decades, with optimized maintenance and upkeep costs.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To solve the above complex technical problems, a comprehensive solution using the most advanced technology and materials in the tensile membrane architecture industry has been applied.
Spatial Steel Truss Structure System Over Span
The structural solution chosen was a steel space frame system in the form of an arch, capable of overcoming large spans efficiently and economically. This truss system was modeled and analyzed using the finite element method (FEA) to optimize the shape, ensure stiffness, stability and minimize material mass. This structure acts as the main load-bearing frame for the entire roof system.
High Performance PTFE Stretch Film Material
For a project of such scale and importance as a stadium, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coated glass fiber membrane material is chosen. PTFE is the most advanced material in the industry, with a design life of over 30 years, superior self-cleaning ability due to its extremely low friction surface, and fire resistance according to the most stringent international standards. The translucency of PTFE provides excellent natural light quality, helping to save on energy costs for lighting during the day. This is the gold standard material for projects Tensile membrane architecture large scale
Complex Construction and Erection Techniques
The construction process is a complex technical item. Steel truss segments are manufactured at the factory and transported to the construction site for assembly. Lifting and assembling components weighing tens of tons to great heights requires specialized crane equipment and a detailed construction plan. The PTFE membrane is deployed and stretched in each area using a hydraulic jack system, ensuring that the tension is evenly distributed across the entire roof surface according to design parameters.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project stadium canopy Indoor Hua has completely upgraded the project after completion, turning it into one of the most modern and versatile indoor arenas in the region.
- About function: The stadium can operate in all weather conditions, allowing it to host international sporting, cultural and entertainment events without being dependent on external factors.
- About the quality of the competition environment: The roof system provides diffuse, even and glare-free natural lighting conditions, which are highly appreciated by athletes and broadcasters.
- On durability and economic efficiency: The use of PTFE material ensures a construction life cycle of over 30 years with very low maintenance costs, bringing long-term economic efficiency.
- In terms of architecture: The project has become a symbol of modern architecture, an important highlight in the cluster of national sports facilities.
