Bolted-ball gas station

Nowadays, more and more gas station canopies adopt space frame design schemes as compared to traditional bolted steel gas stations. This is entirely due to its advantages.

Bolt ball joints commonly used in general space frame structures are mainly realized by high-strength bolt connections. Generally, when the ends of the members are connected, we can use the bolt ball to do the splitting surface. The hexagonal sleeve is between the splitting surface and the sealing plate or cone, then it is stuck in the sealing plate or cone head through the high-strength bolt cap. Drilling the steel is not necessarily required thus saving time and effort. Furthermore, it can effectively reduce the damaged area of the material cross-section, which brings great convenience to the space frame structure processing project.

The whole bolt ball space frame is simple and fast and can provide work efficiency. The support of the space frame has a large force that realizes the partial pressure of the steel structure, which not only saves steel, but also reduces self-weight, and ensures the stability of the entire project. The span of the space frame can reach 30 ~ 150m, while the open space is 20 ~ 30m. The structure is very stable and will not collapse because of its excellent seismic performance. The entire bolt ball structure has a complete set of standard drawings of parts, which is mainly convenient for factory processing. The installation process of the bolt ball grid is relatively simple and super convenient. 
Gas stations are buildings that require large spaces and large rooms, therefore, the space frame structure is a much more cost-effective and reliable choice.
