Advantage on SAFS Space Frame Structure over Conventional

2020-11-13

SAFS SPACE FRAME can be dismantled and re installed at any desired site if required

– Architectural wise, SAFS SPACE FRAME gives elegant, beautiful and eye catching look and on the other hand, Structural wise its very safe and sound for shorter to longer spans

– SAFS SPACE FRAME makes the architects vision true with any kind of geometrical shape and profile. SAFS SPACE FRAME gives elegant and rich look with excellent asthetic features and appearance

– Distribution of lighting, is very convenient and easier due to presence of solid nodes/balls over complete carpet area .Similarly, AC ducts, Fire Sprinkler system can pass through the SAFS SPACE FRAME structure without requiring additional space and false ceilings,

– In SAFS SPACE FRAME, load transfer is perfect and axial among the joints due to concentric and zero eccentric connections

– The SAFS SPACE FRAME structure is corrosion resistant as all the space frames pipes (hollow space) and components are perfectly protected against atmospheric exposure and attacks. Further, Galvanized product can be obtained with powder coating if desired by the owner for additional corrosion resistance.

– The SAFS SPACE FRAME structure is earthquake resistant as the dead loads (Mass Lumps) are distributed over to many joints/nodes leading to no or minimal loss to the structure during tremors and earthquakes due to its structural integrity and global ductility.

– SAFS SPACE FRAME is Capable of taking heavier loads from roof of steel roofed buildings

– SAFS SPACE FRAME withstands longer spans giving wide working floor area (clearance) without any obstruction caused by intermediate supporting columns and hence perfectly suitable for Shopping Malls, Gas Station, Function Halls, Stadiums, Factory Buildings, Railway stations, Airport Terminal Buildings etc.

– At the same time, if adopted for small structures like Pergolas, Entrance gate arches, SAFS SPACE FRAME gives elegant and rich look with excellent aesthetic appearance due to solid ball and pipe assembly

– The SAFS SPACE FRAME supports are considered as hinged and hence supporting media (Concrete or steel columns and foundations) are economical as there is no moment transfer from SAFS SPACE FRAME to Supporting media.
