The process of analyzing the investor's requirements and assessing the current situation identified the core technical criteria that the new solution needed to meet:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Aesthetic standards:<\/strong> The design of the new canopy must be aesthetically pleasing, in harmony with the overall architectural language of the yacht.<\/li>\n
- Material durability:<\/strong> The material must be highly resistant to specific environmental factors such as UV radiation, humidity, wind and especially salt corrosion.<\/li>\n
- Minimal disruption:<\/strong> The dismantling and installation process must be optimized so as not to affect the yacht's commercial operating schedule.<\/li>\n
- Life cycle and maintenance:<\/strong> Requires materials with long life and low maintenance requirements, to optimize long-term operating costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Based on the analysis, Flexiiform proposed and implemented a technical solution using architectural membrane structure<\/a>, combining specialized materials and standardized processes.<\/p>\n
Selection of engineering materials<\/h3>\n
Two main materials are selected based on technical specifications and ability to meet operating conditions:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Architectural stretch film:<\/strong> Using PVC\/PES tarpaulin with PVDF coating imported from France. This coating has the function of UV resistance, anti-mold and prevents dirt adhesion, helping the surface to self-clean under the impact of rainwater.<\/li>\n
- Linked structural system:<\/strong> All load-bearing components, flanges and cables are made from stainless steel (inox 316). This is a highly corrosion-resistant material, standardized for applications in marine and saline environments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

To minimize downtime, we apply pre-fabrication method. The process is carried out in the following steps:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Survey & 3D Modeling:<\/strong> Measure, collect accurate data on site and build digital models to analyze structures and loads.<\/li>\n
- Design & Technical Approval:<\/strong> Make detailed design drawings and submit to investor for approval before production.<\/li>\n
- Factory processing:<\/strong> All steel components and tarpaulins are processed, cut and quality checked at Flexiiform factory according to technical drawings.<\/li>\n
- Field installation:<\/strong> Transport the prefabricated components to the construction site and install them. This step is shortened to one working day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Replacement project Aqua Mekong canopy<\/strong> has completed and fully met the proposed technical objectives, bringing practical results:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Improve architectural aesthetics:<\/strong> The new roof system has a modern, harmonious design and contributes to enhancing the overall aesthetic value of the yacht.<\/li>\n
- Enhance user convenience:<\/strong> The deck space is effectively shielded from sun and rain, creating a more comfortable and airy outdoor living area.<\/li>\n
- Optimize operating costs:<\/strong> The use of long-life and self-cleaning materials significantly reduces the cost and manpower for periodic maintenance and upkeep. This solution has also been successfully applied to many projects with similar environmental conditions<\/a> our.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
