Steel Structure Cruise Terminal Construction

The Steel structure cruise terminal construction is a modern transportation complex built with steel as its main framework, specifically designed and constructed for large cruise ships to dock and for passengers to board and disembark. The steel structure is highly durable, with a small cross-section. It can support the entire building while preserving a large area of space, ensuring the stability of the structure. Moreover, all its components can be produced in our Chinese steel structure factory, and then transported to the site for direct installation. This prefabricated method can significantly shorten the construction period occupying the prime shore line and reduce project costs. EIHE Steel Structure, leveraging modern BIM technology and rich experience in large-span buildings, can become your preferred supplier and manufacturer of high-quality steel structures.

The core functional areas of the product

As a large-scale public transportation building, the Steel structure cruise terminal construction has the following three core functional areas:

● Boarding bridge

It usually adopts steel trusses and automatically adjusts the slope according to the tidal water level and the height of the cruise deck to ensure that passengers can board and disembark without obstacles.

● Passenger waiting hall

This area requires an open indoor space, combined with large-area glass curtain walls, to make the entire space more transparent and allow passengers to relax while waiting.

● Luggage handling and logistics floor

This area takes advantage of the flexibility of the frame structure and usually sets up a steel platform on the lower floor of the waiting hall for luggage sorting and transportation.

Product delivery

After the components of the steel structure cruise terminal are produced, we will stack them into the custom-made metal frame. Whether by land transportation, sea transportation or air transportation, the metal frame can ensure that the components will not fall during the transportation process.

FAQ

1. The wind force is quite strong near the seaside. Can the steel structure cruise terminal withstand such strong winds?

No. During the design process, we will conduct experiments and carry out scientific calculations to determine the wind load of this building, and we will also refer to the basic wind pressure for the design based on the 50-year recurrence rate of local wind forces.

2. When the ship docks, will it bend the steel columns?

No, the impact force of the ship is mainly absorbed by the rubber protective covers, and does not directly act on the building steel columns.
