How often should the space frame be inspected

2021-08-04

The space frame structure must be maintained after the completion of the construction, so as to ensure that the space frame structure is applied within the design plan period. The key points of maintenance are:

  1. It is forbidden to place hanging objects on the flat roof of the space frame

Since the space frame is designed and manufactured according to the specified load of the structure design, the specifications and models of the components and connection points of the space frame are all calculated under the required design plan load, so the space frame structure is prohibited from being placed in the whole process of application. Putting a hanging object that exceeds the design plan will cause irreversible harm to structure.

  1. Anti-corrosion on time during the whole process of space frame application

The general design plan of the space frame has a period of 50 years. During the entire process of the space frame application, it is unlikely to be damaged due to its overload application. Most of the damage is caused by rust. The rust causes the cross section of the prefabricated components of the space frame to be large. If the scale is reduced, its physical performance and physics will be greatly reduced.

The spacing is different. There are more inspections in the early stage. After that, if the load is not lifted, there is no need for frequent inspections. It is enough to check the rust level once a year.
