Recently, the tensile membrane structure project of the Yellow River Sports Center, constructed by Yexing Group, has successfully completed the first hoisting of the secondary steel structure!
The next step is being carried out in an orderly and tense manner….. The “Pearl of the Yellow River” has successfully been crowned with a 16,000-ton “steel giant crown”. What’s the actual situation on site?
Project Review
The Jinan Yellow River Sports Center Professional Football Stadium project is located in the Jinan New and Old Kinetic Energy Conversion Pilot Zone, with a total construction area of 197,300 square meters. It adopts the latest standards of FIFA and is the first 60,000-seat professional football stadium in Shandong Province. The roof design of this project is highly innovative, ingeniously composed of steel structure cables, membrane structures and metal roofs. It is the world’s first planar single-layer membrane spoke-type cable-membrane structure system.
The total steel usage of the project’s roof steel structure is approximately 16,000 tons, including 88 trusses, with the maximum cantilever length reaching an astonishing 45 meters, creating a huge column-free cantilever space structure. This cantilever length ranks first among domestic sports venues.
Yexing tensile structure
This is the first large-scale application of high-transparency PTFE mesh membrane material in a professional football field in China. It innovatively integrates many large-span spatial structure elements such as a large cantilevered roof rigid system and an irregular cable-membrane flexible system. It is one of the most complex professional football fields in terms of construction in China at present. It not only takes into account functionality, aesthetics and lighting performance, but also features a “combination of rigidity and flexibility” structural force characteristic.
This construction is extremely challenging. Yexing is mainly responsible for the secondary steel structure of the truss membrane and the interior wall membrane, as well as the installation of the membrane surface. Recently, we focused on the assembly and welding of small components on the facade, as well as the installation and welding of facade sample components. The first lift was successfully completed recently! Preparations for the installation of facade materials and other work are being carried out in an orderly and intense manner…..
Project significance
The professional football field project of the Yellow River Sports Center is expected to be completed and delivered in 2026. After its completion, it will take football as the starting point and the Yellow River as the link to further enhance the level of sports-related industries and help Jinan move from the “Spring City Era” to the “Yellow River Era”.
