Advantages of using tensile membrane structure for indoor sports field
First of all, let’s talk about the advantage of large span space. Considering that indoor sports field needs open space, the characteristics of tensile membrane structure with light weight and no columns can meet this demand, and also improve the space utilization rate. The construction period of tensile membrane structure is short and flexible, which is very important for indoor sports field with complex site and hope to be put into use as soon as possible. The beautiful and unique shape and rich and diverse colors of tensile membrane structure building can enhance the symbolism of the venue. The tensile structure membrane has good light transmittance and uniform lighting effect, which can reduce energy consumption and provide a comfortable visual environment. Good self-cleaning, high comfort and high safety make tensile membrane structure more advantageous in long-term use.
Tensile membrane structure indoor sports field has many advantages, as follows:
Large span space advantage
- Large column-free space: The tensile membrane structure has light weight and good stress points, which can easily realize the design of large span without the need for column support in the middle, which is very important for indoor sports field. It can provide an open and spacious unobstructed sports space to meet the venue requirements of various sports. Whether it is ball sports such as basketball, badminton, tennis, or gymnastics, martial arts and other projects with high space requirements, athletes can play freely in sufficient space without being disturbed by columns.
- High space utilization: Under the same building area, the tensile membrane structure can provide a larger actual use space, and the venue operator can more reasonably plan functional areas such as sports venues, spectator seats, and rest areas to improve the overall use efficiency of the venue.
Construction advantages
- Short construction period: Membrane structure materials are usually processed uniformly in the factory and then transported to the site for installation. Compared with traditional building construction, this prefabricated and assembled construction method greatly reduces the time and workload of on-site construction. The construction of indoor sports venues often hopes to be put into use as soon as possible. The rapid construction characteristics of the tensile membrane structure can meet this demand, shorten the construction period of the project, and reduce the cost increase and operation delays caused by long construction time.
- High construction flexibility: The installation process of the membrane structure is relatively flexible and can be adjusted and modified according to the actual situation on site. For some indoor sports fields with irregular shapes or complex site conditions, the tensile membrane structure can better adapt to the characteristics of the site and realize personalized design and construction.
Architectural appearance advantages: - Beautiful and unique shape: The design of the membrane structure is flexible and can be customized according to the functional requirements and architectural style of the indoor sports field to create a unique and novel architectural appearance. Its smooth curves and light texture can add a sense of modernity and art to the indoor sports field, making it a landmark building in the city or campus.
- Rich and diverse colors: The membrane material can present a variety of colors through dyeing or coating. The venue operator can choose the appropriate color according to its brand image or sports theme, making the indoor sports field more visually impactful and recognizable.
Daylighting and lighting advantages
- Good light transmittance: The membrane material has good light transmittance, which can make full use of natural light during the day and reduce the energy consumption of indoor lighting. In indoor sports fields, sufficient natural light can provide a comfortable visual environment for athletes and spectators, while also reducing the operating costs of the venue.
- Uniform lighting effect: The light transmittance of the membrane structure is evenly distributed, and there will be no obvious light and shadow contrast, which avoids the impact of uneven light on the athletes’ competition and the audience’s viewing experience. Even in cloudy days or evenings when there is insufficient light, the light transmittance of the membrane structure can ensure a certain brightness in the room.
Maintenance and use advantages
- Good self-cleaning: The surface of the membrane material usually has an anti-fouling coating, which can rely on natural wind and rain to keep it clean, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning and maintenance. For indoor sports venues, which are frequently used and have a large flow of people, the self-cleaning property of the membrane structure can reduce maintenance costs and keep the venue clean and beautiful.
- High comfort in use: The membrane structure has good thermal insulation and heat preservation properties, and can provide a stable temperature environment for indoor sports venues under different climatic conditions. In hot summer, it can block the entry of ultraviolet rays and heat, and reduce indoor temperature; in cold winter, it can reduce heat loss, keep the room warm, and provide athletes and spectators with a comfortable sports and viewing environment.
- High safety: The tensile membrane structure focuses on safety in design and can withstand natural disasters such as strong winds and earthquakes. The membrane structure, which has been reasonably designed and constructed, has good stability and reliability, and can ensure the safe use of indoor sports venues in various severe weather and emergency situations.
