Unlike conventional beam-and-column roofing systems, a space frame transfers loads through a network of interconnected steel members in multiple directions. This configuration provides excellent rigidity while reducing the need for internal supporting columns.

ZSJH Steel manufactures customized space frame structures for industrial, commercial, transportation, sports, and public construction projects. From engineering coordination and component fabrication to surface treatment, marking, packaging, and export delivery, we provide an integrated supply solution for international projects.

Structural Advantages

Efficient Three-Dimensional Load Distribution

The interconnected steel members form a stable spatial structural network. Loads from the roof are distributed through multiple members and transferred efficiently to the supporting structure.

This design is particularly suitable for buildings with wide column-free areas.

Suitable for Large-Span Roofs

Space frame structures can cover large areas while minimizing intermediate columns, making them ideal for projects requiring open interior spaces.

Typical applications include:

• Stadium roofs

• Airport terminals

• Exhibition halls

• Industrial facilities

• Transportation stations

• Warehouses

• Aircraft hangars

• Commercial complexes

High Strength with Reduced Structural Weight

Tubular steel members provide an efficient combination of strength and relatively low structural weight.

This can help optimize the supporting structure and foundation design while maintaining the required structural performance.

Available Structural Configurations

Depending on architectural and engineering requirements, we can manufacture different types of space frame systems.

Flat Space Frame Roof

A practical solution for industrial plants, warehouses, logistics centers, and exhibition buildings.

Curved Space Frame Roof

Suitable for modern architectural projects requiring smooth roof profiles and large open spaces.

Dome Space Frame Structure

Commonly used for stadiums, sports halls, public buildings, and landmark architectural projects.

Barrel Vault Space Frame

Frequently used for transportation terminals, covered walkways, storage facilities, and entrance structures.

Pyramid Grid Structure

Provides excellent rigidity and can be customized for different spans, heights, and load requirements.

Connection Systems

Space frame structures rely heavily on connection accuracy. Depending on project design, different connection systems can be supplied.

Bolted Ball Connection

Steel tubular members are connected through precision-machined spherical nodes using high-strength bolts. This system provides convenient assembly and is widely used for prefabricated space frame roofs.

Welded Node Connection

Customized welded connection systems can be manufactured for projects with specific structural or architectural requirements.

All connection methods are produced according to approved fabrication drawings.

Typical Specifications

Precision Manufacturing

Space frame structures contain numerous interconnected components, which makes dimensional accuracy particularly important.

Our manufacturing process includes controlled fabrication of steel members, connection nodes, brackets, and supporting components.

Typical production procedures include:

Material Inspection → Cutting → End Processing → Drilling → Welding → Node Fabrication → Dimensional Inspection → Surface Treatment → Component Coding → Packaging

Component numbers can be matched with erection drawings to make identification and assembly easier at the construction site.

Component Identification System

For international projects, efficient installation begins before the materials arrive on site.

According to project requirements, space frame components can be:

• Individually numbered

• Grouped by installation area

• Matched with fabrication drawings

• Packed according to erection sequence

• Clearly labeled for container loading
