This large-scale membrane structure parking canopy project is located at the Public Service Center in Changsha, Hunan Province. Covering a total area of 2600 square meters and completed within only 25 working days, the whole project was professionally designed, prefabricated and constructed by Weifang Kaifort Membrane Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. (KaiFort). As a standard public institution supporting project, it has achieved perfect balance among construction quality, safety efficiency and on-site operation continuity, and has been fully recognized by the client.
The public service center serves a large number of government staff, official vehicles and visiting citizens every day. The original open-air parking area lacked effective sunshade and rainproof protection. Long-term exposure to strong sunlight and rain causes vehicle paint aging, interior deterioration and frequent dust accumulation, which increases daily maintenance costs and reduces public service experience. To optimize the public supporting facilities and upgrade the overall environment of the government compound, the client adopted a modern tensile membrane parking canopy solution for full-area renovation.
The biggest challenge of this project is the extremely strict on-site construction control. Different from ordinary factory and community projects, public service centers feature continuous pedestrian flow and uninterrupted vehicle access throughout the day. Full closed construction will directly block parking lines and public passages, interfere with daily office work and citizen services, and bring negative impact on public operation. Therefore, the construction team must ensure high-speed delivery while maintaining zero disturbance to daily operation.
To solve the above difficulties, KaiFort adopted a scientific zoned construction and segmented installation strategy. The 2600㎡ large parking lot was divided into multiple independent construction units. The team implemented a progressive working mode of completing, opening and constructing in separate zones. This reasonable construction schedule effectively avoided large-scale occupation of the site, ensured smooth vehicle circulation and pedestrian passage, and guaranteed the normal operation of public services during the whole construction period.
In terms of materials and structural configuration, the project adopts high-standard industrial accessories. The main load-bearing frame is made of Q235 national standard steel structure with professional anti-corrosion and rust-proof treatment, which provides stable wind resistance, pressure resistance and long-term structural safety. The canopy surface uses premiumPVDF1050 high-strength membrane material, featuring excellent UV resistance, weather resistance, corrosion resistance and self-cleaning performance. Dust and stains can be washed away naturally by rainwater, greatly reducing later maintenance work and operational costs.
All steel components and membrane panels are fully prefabricated in the factory, with precise cutting, welding and anti-corrosion processing finished in advance. The on-site work only includes modular hoisting, assembly and tensioning, which greatly shortens the construction cycle and improves overall project accuracy and safety. Despite the large construction area and strict site restrictions, the project was successfully delivered within 25 days, reaching the high efficiency standard of large public membrane engineering.
After completion, the membrane canopy features neat and elegant appearance, smooth and tight membrane surface and reasonable drainage system. It perfectly matches the solemn and tidy style of public institution buildings. The all-weather sunshade and rainproof function effectively protects official vehicles from sunlight aging and rain erosion, improves parking comfort and optimizes the overall image of public service facilities.
The client highly praised the finished project. The overall construction quality, appearance effect and progress control fully meet the expected standards. The whole construction process was standardized and orderly without affecting daily office and public service work.
