Construction process of membrane building engineering

1、 Overview ofmembrane building engineering

Membrane building engineering is aconstruction technology that uses lightweight membrane materials as the mainstructural elements. This technology has been widely used in the field ofmodern architecture due to its unique aesthetic effects, good spatialadaptability, and superior energy-saving performance. Membrane structurebuildings have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, fastconstruction speed, energy conservation and environmental protection, and canmeet the complex building needs of large-span and column free spaces.

2、 Preparation andplanning before construction

Before construction, a detailed preliminarysurvey of the project must be conducted to understand the terrain, geology,meteorology, and other conditions to ensure project safety. At the same time, ascientific design plan should be developed based on the survey results andarchitectural design requirements, clarifying technical parameters such asmembrane structure type, size, and materials. In terms of material andequipment selection, reliable and stable membrane materials and supportingequipment should be selected to ensure engineering quality and safety.

3、 Constructionfoundation preparation

Before starting the installation of themembrane structure, the construction foundation must be cleaned and leveled toensure that the surface of the foundation is free of debris and oil stains. Atthe same time, bearing capacity testing should be carried out on the foundationto ensure that it meets the requirements of membrane structure construction. Ifnecessary, the foundation needs to be reinforced.

4、 Installation andconstruction steps of membrane structure

The installation and construction ofmembrane structures are the core links of membrane building engineering.Firstly, the membrane should be cut and pre tensioned according to the designplan to ensure accurate size and stable shape of the membrane. Then, theinstallation and construction of the membrane are carried out on theconstruction site, usually by lifting or sliding. During the installationprocess, attention should be paid to the positioning, tension, and fixation ofthe membrane to ensure that the membrane surface is flat and free of wrinkles.

5、 Welding andconnection treatment

The connection between membranes is usuallyachieved through welding or hot melt connection. During the welding process, itis necessary to ensure the welding quality and avoid phenomena such as falsewelding and missed welding. At the same time, sealing treatment should becarried out on the welding parts to ensure good overall sealing performance ofthe membrane structure.

6、 Support systemsettings and security measures

The construction of membrane structuresrequires the installation of appropriate support systems to ensure thestability and safety of the membrane surface. The setting of the support systemshould be comprehensively considered based on factors such as membranestructure type, size, and construction conditions. At the same time, necessarysafety measures should be taken, such as setting warning lines, installingsafety nets, etc., to reduce the risk of accidents.

7、 Skills trainingand management for construction personnel

During the construction process of membranestructures, the skill level of construction personnel directly affects thequality and safety of the project. Therefore, strict skill training andmanagement should be provided to construction personnel to ensure that they arefamiliar with the construction process, master operational skills and methods.At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen on-site safety management andensure the safety of construction personnel.

8、 Qualityinspection and acceptance standards

During the construction process, qualityinspection should be carried out in accordance with relevant specifications toensure that each construction step meets quality requirements. After thecompletion of the project, a comprehensive acceptance work should be carriedout to ensure that the membrane structure project meets the design requirementsand relevant standards. The acceptance criteria include the flatness,stability, sealing performance, and safety of the support system of themembrane surface.

9、 Suggestions forlater maintenance and common problem solutions

Membrane structure engineering requiresregular maintenance and upkeep during use to extend its service life andmaintain good performance. It is recommended to regularly clean, inspect, andrepair damaged areas on the membrane surface. At the same time, it is necessaryto strengthen the inspection and maintenance of the support system to ensureits stability and safety. During use, there may be issues such as membranesurface relaxation and leakage. Corresponding solutions can be taken to addressthese issues, such as adjusting the membrane surface tension and repairingleakage areas.
