Grid Structure Terminal Steel Construction

Grid structure is a spatial bar system. Bars are arranged in regular patterns and connected via joints to form an integral stress-bearing structure. The Grid Structure Terminal Steel Construction made by our factory adopts this structure, creating spacious and magnificent interior views as well as exquisite architectural aesthetics.

There are three main types of grid structures:

This structure boasts multiple merits including excellent mechanical performance, light weight, high rigidity, favorable seismic resistance, low cost and easy forming. It is widely applied to terminals, hangars, stadiums, theaters, exhibition halls and railway stations. Its core advantages for terminal buildings are as follows:

✔ Ultra-long span column-free space

✔ High clearance and spacious visibility

✔ Complex roof shapes; excellent seismic performance

✔ Rapid construction

✔ Lower overall cost compared with other long-span solutions

FAQ

Q1: What are the differences among grid structure, space truss structure and latticed shell structure?

Grid structure is a general term covering space truss and latticed shell.

Q2: What is the maximum span achievable for a terminal building?

Our Grid Structure Terminal Steel Construction can reach over 150 meters with customized design.

Q3: How long is the construction period of a terminal?

Adopting factory prefabrication, ground assembly and integral lifting technology, the installation of 9,600 tons of steel structure can be finished within 6 months.

Q4: What is the steel consumption of grid structure?

It ranges from 40 to 60kg per square meter for regular trusses, up to 96kg per square meter for complex structures.

Q5: What architectural shapes can grid structure realize?

It can create complex forms such as hyperbolic, wavy and free-form curved surfaces.

Project Experience & Delivery

EHSS is a high-quality and eco-friendly steel structure enterprise specializing in steel structure design, research and development, manufacturing, sales and installation. Public buildings serve as our core business scope, mainly covering large-span spatial structures and prefabricated steel structures. Large-span spatial structures are widely adopted for constructions such as stations, exhibition halls and airport terminals.

Yulin Yuyang Airport, located in Yuyang District, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, China, is a large-span spatial structure building constructed by EHSS using a steel grid structure, with a construction scale of 28,600 square meters. It is a classic terminal project built by EHSS and a typical case of our Grid Structure Terminal Steel Construction product. As a 4D-class civil transport airport, it serves as the second-largest aviation hub in Shaanxi Province.

Our Grid Structure Terminal Steel Construction products are packed in factory with steel frame fixation and clear marking. Large components are delivered by container trailers. Loading one truck takes roughly 10 minutes under ideal conditions, while external uncontrollable factors usually extend the process to 1-2 hours per container.

Normally 8 containers can be loaded daily for major projects, with net weight around 20 tons each. All goods can be dispatched within one week, and transoceanic delivery finishes in about 30 days.
