Especificación del proyecto
Ubicación: Canadá
Aplicación: Sombreado para edificios de dormitorios de estudiantes
Producto: Rejilla de fibra de vidrio
Descripción general: Una empresa constructora canadiense se hizo cargo de un proyecto de remodelación de viviendas para estudiantes en una universidad de Columbia.
Una empresa constructora canadiense se hizo cargo de la remodelación de una residencia de estudiantes en una universidad de Columbia. El proyecto consistió en equipar las residencias de estudiantes con sombrillas para darle al edificio un aspecto urbano único. Los paneles protegen los dormitorios del sol, mantienen el edificio fresco y actúan como una barrera protectora.
Problema
Initially, the construction company wanted to use coated aluminium mesh panels; however, the saline environment would corrode the aluminium as the application was very close to saline soil. However, the saline environment would corrode the aluminium panels as the building is very close to the ocean. The main objectives of the project were aesthetics, sustainability and convenience, which were also the construction company’s requirements for Tianfu New Material’s grids.
Por lo tanto, los ingenieros y gerentes de ventas de comercio exterior de Tianfu New Material tuvieron que asegurarse de que los productos utilizados en esta aplicación cumplieran con los siguientes requisitos:
— Corrosion resistance – These products had to be corrosion resistant because of the building’s proximity to the ocean (highly corrosive salt air environment).
– UV resistance – it is important to use grating with maximum UV resistance to prevent the grating from deteriorating in a wet environment.
– Low installation costs – The application was on a six-storey building; the client wanted to be able to complete the installation without any obstacles.
— Low maintenance – The company responsible for the project used the word “long-term” when describing the material he envisioned. It could be used for a long time without maintenance.
Solución
Skyfoam’s Foreign Trade Sales Manager had previously worked with the construction company on a similar project. After revisiting the site and understanding the application conditions, the construction company felt that FRP grating was the ideal choice for this project. Not because they had a good experience with Tianfu New Material in the past, but because of the aesthetics and performance of the product. FRP grating performs in this environment. It enhances the visual appeal of the building and fulfils the following needs:
Corrosion Resistance – Moulded steel grating can withstand salt water environments, helping customers avoid future replacement costs.
UV Resistance – NPG construction resins are well suited for applications exposed to sunlight and were used on this project. This grating is extremely UV resistant.
Low Installation Cost – Installed on a six-story building. These fibreglass panels can be installed easily and quickly without the use of heavy equipment or heavy machinery.
Low Maintenance Costs – The main reason they chose fibreglass reinforced plastic over aluminium was because they did not want to replace this application in the foreseeable future.
No están dispuestos a reemplazar esta aplicación en el futuro previsible. El plástico reforzado con fibra de vidrio es sostenible y era la solución a largo plazo que buscaba el cliente. Una vez finalizada la instalación, el Gerente de Ventas de Comercio Exterior dio seguimiento a la empresa constructora. Basta decir que quedaron muy satisfechos y encontraron que el proyecto era único y excepcional. Este proyecto no habría sido posible sin los esfuerzos combinados del equipo de ingeniería de Tianfu New Material y el Gerente de Ventas de Comercio Exterior.
