Space Frame

Pre-assembly allows project acceleration
• Pre-finished to avoid site painting & inspection
• All service lines can run through frame
• Simple modification or dis-assembly for re-use
• Frame can be a feature without ceiling
• Accommodates concentrated loads
• Suit irregular support or plan geometry
• Variable depth for roof drainage is built-in
• Minimum structure weight
• Long clear spans & cantilevers
Spaceframes Applications: Malls, Transport Terminals,
Schools, Pools, Arenas, Entertainment, Hospitals, Hotels,
Corporate & Commercial Buildings, Convention Centers
Toroids are appearing in
structural applications due to their
aesthetic & structural benefits.
Examples ; Dubai & Osaka airport
terminals, and London Museum.
HYPARS are structural shapes curved
in two directions as Hyperbolic
Parabola.
The edges of each
Hypar are restrained &
foundations are
designed to resist thrust
& overturning
movement under all
service conditions.
Dome roofs have offered
great visual appeal & clear
column-free spans in buildings
for centuries.
Dome roofs can be designed
to suit square, rectangular or
any plan shape.
Barrel Vaults
Triodetic pyramids are
three or four space frame panels
which are interconnected at the
ridge lines
