Step-by-Step Steel Structure Installation

• Layout and Positioning‌: Begin by accurately positioning the steel frame components on your site. Use stakes and strings to mark the perimeter and ensure alignment.
• Assembly‌: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for assembling the steel frame. Use bolts and nuts to secure connections, ensuring all joints are tight and stable.
• Bracing‌: Install braces and supports as required to stabilize the structure against wind and seismic loads.
• Inspection‌: Conduct a thorough inspection of the steel frame to identify and rectify any issues before proceeding to the next step.

Membrane Structure Installation

• Preparation‌: Ensure the membrane material is clean and free of defects. Measure and cut pieces according to your design specifications.
• Attachment‌: Secure the membrane to the steel frame using specified fasteners. Pay attention to detail, ensuring there are no gaps or wrinkles.
• Sealing‌: Apply seam sealant to all joints and seams to ensure waterproofing and durability.
• Final Inspection‌: Conduct a final inspection to ensure the membrane is properly installed and functioning as intended.
