Specifica del progetto
Località: Canada
Applicazione: ombreggiatura per l'edificio del dormitorio studentesco
Prodotto: griglia in fibra di vetro
Panoramica: una società di costruzioni canadese ha rilevato un progetto di riqualificazione degli alloggi per studenti in un'università della Columbia.
Una società di costruzioni canadese si è occupata della ristrutturazione di un dormitorio studentesco in un'università della Columbia. Il progetto consisteva nel dotare i dormitori degli studenti di ombrelloni per conferire all'edificio un aspetto urbano unico. I pannelli proteggono i dormitori dal sole, mantengono l’edificio fresco e fungono da barriera protettiva.
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.
Pertanto, gli ingegneri e i responsabili delle vendite del commercio estero di Tianfu New Material hanno dovuto garantire che i prodotti utilizzati in questa applicazione soddisfacessero i seguenti requisiti:
— 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.
Soluzione
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.
Non sono disposti a sostituire questa applicazione nel prossimo futuro. La plastica rinforzata con fibra di vetro è sostenibile ed era la soluzione a lungo termine che il cliente stava cercando. Una volta completata l'installazione, il responsabile delle vendite del commercio estero ha contattato l'impresa di costruzioni. Basti dire che sono rimasti molto soddisfatti e hanno trovato il progetto davvero unico ed eccezionale. Questo progetto non sarebbe stato possibile senza gli sforzi congiunti del team di ingegneri di Tianfu New Material e del responsabile delle vendite del commercio estero.
