Project Overview

Client Needs & Background

The Aruba Stadium, as a key public sports and event venue, required the construction of a permanent grandstand structure to accommodate thousands of spectators. The client sought a grandstand design featuring a long span, high safety, and visual openness, while ensuring a lightweight structure, efficient construction, and resistance to local climatic conditions. The roof above the seating area needed to provide wide coverage, a comfortable viewing experience, and seamless integration with surrounding facilities.

Key Project Challenges

Requirement for a Long-Span, Column-Free Space: The roof structure needed to achieve a clear span of 127 meters, ensuring unobstructed views below.

Balancing Lightweight Design with Structural Strength: Meeting wind, seismic, and load-bearing codes while optimizing steel tonnage.

Integrating Architectural Aesthetics with Function: The tubular truss design required a blend of structural rationality and architectural appeal, harmonizing with the stadium's overall style.

Solution Highlights

We employed a modular steel tube truss system, utilizing 3D modeling and stress simulation to optimize member arrangement and joint design. This resulted in a fully welded spatial truss system with a 127-meter span and an eave height of 9.14 meters. The total steel weight was only 62.357 tons, demonstrating a "lightweight, long-span" design philosophy. Auxiliary areas behind the grandstand utilize a steel stud shed-type light gauge steel envelope system for rapid installation and flexible layout. A steel frame fence was selected for perimeter site security, offering both transparency and robustness. The primary roof structure consists of a steel frame roof trusses system, where the tubular truss form reduces self-weight while creating the venue's iconic profile.

Product Technology & Specifications

The core product of this project is the Long-Span Spatial Tubular Truss System, suitable for large-space structures such as stadium grandstands, canopies, and exhibition halls. The system adopts a modular construction method involving factory prefabrication and on-site welded assembly, balancing structural performance, cost-effectiveness, and construction speed.

Technical Details & Highlights

Spatial Tubular Truss System

Finite element analysis optimized truss sections and grid dimensions for efficient load transfer.

The tubular truss profile reduces wind load and enhances visual transparency, perfectly aligning with grandstand functionality.

Modular Construction

Trusses were prefabricated in segments and assembled on-site using large-scale lifting equipment, significantly shortening the project timeline.

All connection joints feature positioning plates and temporary bolt holes to ensure installation accuracy.

Integrated Multi-System Design

The main truss and auxiliary buildings using a steel stud shed system were designed as an integrated unit for cohesive aesthetics.

The steel frame fence employs modular assembly and is securely connected to the grandstand foundations.

The steel frame roof trusses system is rigidly connected to the main truss, sharing the roof load collectively.

Corrosion Protection & Durability

Full structure hot-dip galvanized, with additional weather-resistant topcoat for coastal environments, ensuring long-term protection.

Recommended Applications

Stadium grandstands and canopies

Transportation hub platform roofs

Exhibition centers and industrial facility long-span roofs

Outdoor stages and viewing platforms

Core Product Advantages

Why Choose Our Steel Structure System? Three Core Advantages.

• 

  Superior Efficiency & Cost-Effectiveness

  Utilizing modular design and factory prefabrication, on-site installation resembles assembling precision components, reducing construction timelines by over 50% compared to traditional concrete methods. This allows faster operational launch and accelerates your return on investment.
  Precise digital modeling and optimization technologies ensure material usage is minimized while guaranteeing safety, as demonstrated in the Aruba Stadium project where a 127-meter super-long span was achieved with only 62.357 tons of steel, significantly controlling initial construction costs.
• 

  Exceptional Strength & Durability

  The system offers load-bearing and disaster resistance capabilities. The primary structure is designed to comfortably meet stringent wind and seismic fortification requirements (e.g., resisting Category 14 typhoons), providing robust shelter for personnel and assets.
  All components feature long-lasting composite anti-corrosion treatment (hot-dip galvanizing paired with advanced coatings), ensuring a design service life exceeding 50 years even in harsh environments and greatly reducing lifecycle maintenance costs.
• 

  Sustainability & Flexibility

  Steel boasts a recycling rate of over 90%, making it a truly green building material. At the end of the building's life, most materials can be recycled, minimizing environmental impact.
  The structure inherently allows for easy future modification and expansion. Interior spaces can be flexibly partitioned, and exterior envelopes (like walls for steel stud sheds or steel frame fences) are designed for straightforward removal or replacement, perfectly adapting to your evolving functional needs.

How Does Our System Deliver Your Core Functional Requirements?

Creating Unparalleled Large Spaces
Leveraging advanced tubular truss and steel frame roof trusses technology, we can create vast, column-free spaces spanning over 100 meters. This is ideal for stadiums, logistics hubs, large exhibition halls, and more, providing unobstructed views and space utilization.

Meeting Stringent Loads & Environments
The system is rigorously validated by professional engineering software and can be precisely configured to support heavy suspended equipment, dense crowd loads, or specific industrial process requirements. Furthermore, we can enhance the structure's fire resistance, corrosion protection, and insulation properties to meet the codes and safety standards of specialized industries like chemical processing or warehousing.

Enabling Rapid & Clean Construction
With a prefabrication rate exceeding 85%, on-site work primarily involves efficient lifting and assembly. This drastically reduces wet trades, construction waste, and noise, making it particularly suitable for projects on operational sites, in environmentally sensitive areas, or with tight deadlines.

Providing a Cohesive, Integrated Appearance
From the grand roof to functional equipment rooms (constructed using economical steel stud shed forms) and site boundaries (complemented by sturdy and aesthetically pleasing steel frame fences), we ensure all structural elements are harmoniously unified in design and vision, presenting a complete and professional architectural image.
