The landmark cable-truss roof structure for the Jinan Yellow River Sports Center Stadium has been successfully lifted into place. As the specialist contractor for the stadium’s facade and roof envelope, Yexing Membrane Structure is responsible for executing this world-first single-layer cable-net and membrane system.
Key Engineering Challenge: A World-First Roof Design
The project’s core challenge is the installation of a pioneering single-layer radial cable-net structure. This innovative design requires millimeter-level precision in the placement of the 700-ton steel “sky skeleton” to ensure the stability and final form of the entire roof system. Yexing’s team utilized advanced BIM modeling and digital simulation from the outset to pre-empt installation conflicts.
Yexing’s Role: Specialist Membrane Structure Contractor
Yexing Membrane Structure is engaged as the specialist subcontractor for the design, supply, and installation of the entire PTFE membrane cladding and facade system. Our scope includes the engineering of the membrane attachments to the primary steel structure and the precise tensioning of the roof skin to meet rigorous international standards.
Current Project Status
Following the successful roof lift, site work is now focused on the systematic installation and tensioning of the high-performance PTFE membrane panels. All preparatory facade mock-ups have been completed and approved, setting the benchmark for the full-scale installation phase.
