Project Overview: Construction of swimming pool roofing system at TSSC Complex
Project swimming pool cover at the TSSC Complex is a tensile membrane architectural solution, designed with the form of many interwoven sails. The project is implemented to solve the core requirements of shielding, UV radiation protection and enhancing the aesthetic value of outdoor sports and entertainment spaces.
- Investor: TSSC Complex (Thai Summit Group)
- Category: Architectural canopy for swimming pool area
- Structure: Multi-sail hypar system
- Main materials: UV resistant PVDF stretch film, corrosion resistant steel structure, 316L stainless steel accessories
- Location: Bangkok, Thailand (Assumption)
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
Designing a roof for a swimming pool space poses many specific technical challenges due to the operating environment and usage requirements:
- Chemical corrosion resistance: The structure and materials of the roof must be highly resistant to environments containing chlorine and pool water treatment chemicals, which are highly corrosive to conventional materials.
- Protection from UV radiation: The most important requirement is to create a safe, shielded space that effectively blocks harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight to protect the health of swimmers.
- Structural safety: The roofing system must be calculated to withstand high wind loads in open space areas. The location and foundation structure must be carefully designed so as not to affect the structural system and underground pipes of the swimming pool.
- Aesthetics and open space: The design must bring high aesthetic value, create a relaxing feeling like at a resort and maintain the ventilation of the space.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To solve the above problems, Flexiiform has come up with a comprehensive technical solution, from block design to the selection of specialized materials.
Multi-Sail Structure Design
The technical solution is a complex of individual hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar) triangular tensile membrane structures, arranged in layers at different heights. This design creates a multi-layered, dynamic visual effect, while allowing for flexible coverage of a large area. Each “sail” is supported by a system of inclined steel columns, calculated to optimize load-bearing capacity and shape.
Anti-Corrosion and UV Resistant Materials Engineering
The membrane material is high-grade PVDF, with a high UV protection factor (UPF), ensuring effective blocking of harmful radiation. The PVDF-coated surface is also inert to common chemicals in swimming pool water. The entire steel structure is hot-dip galvanized and painted with multiple layers of epoxy paint system specialized for chemical environments. Important connection details such as cables and bolts use 316L stainless steel to completely eliminate the risk of rust. This is a comprehensive material solution for construction projects. Tensile membrane architecture in harsh environments.
Construction Process and Safety
Construction is carried out when the pool is not in use to ensure absolute safety. Foundation excavation is carried out carefully after surveying the location of the pool's piping systems and underground structures. Components are prefabricated and quickly assembled on site to minimize downtime.
Results and Performance Evaluation
System swimming pool cover After completion, TSSC has significantly improved the quality and functionality of the outdoor entertainment area:
- About protection function: Provides a large shaded area, effectively shielding from UV radiation, allowing users to safely use the pool at all times of the day.
- About durability: The choice of specialized materials ensures that the construction is resistant to chemicals and weather, has a long life and requires little maintenance.
- Aesthetically: The modern, sophisticated multi-sail design has brought a new, luxurious, resort-like look to the pool area.
- About operating efficiency: The canopy helps reduce water evaporation and the decomposition of water treatment chemicals due to sunlight, contributing to saving operating costs.
