Gas station canopy design

Gas station canopy design needs to take into account the practicality, safety and aesthetics. Here are some points about the design of gas station canopy:

I.Structural design

1.Load-bearing capacity

1.The canopy must be able to withstand its own weight, wind load, snow load and the weight of possible hanging objects. In the design, according to the local meteorological conditions and building codes, to determine the reasonable structural form and material strength.

2.For large gas stations or canopies located in windy areas, the use of steel frames may be considered to ensure adequate load-bearing capacity.

2.Wind resistance

1.As gas station canopies are usually in an open-air environment, they are easily affected by wind. Therefore, the role of wind load should be fully considered in the design, and appropriate wind-resistant measures should be taken.

2.The wind-resistant performance of the canopy can be improved by increasing the height of the canopy, reducing the span, and setting windproof supports. At the same time, choose appropriate roofing materials and connection methods to ensure that no damage or detachment occurs under the action of strong winds.

3.Drainage system

1.Reasonable drainage system should be designed to remove rainwater and snow in time. The drainage system can be in the form of gutter, downpipe, etc. to ensure that rainwater can be smoothly discharged into the ground drainage system.

2.When designing the drainage system, we should take into account the slope of the roof, the location and number of drainage outlets and other factors to ensure smooth drainage.

Ⅱ. Material selection

1.Roofing materials

1.The roofing material of gas station canopy should have good waterproof, heat insulation, weather resistance and fire performance. Commonly used roofing materials are color steel plate, sunshine board, membrane structure and so on.

2.Color steel plate has the advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, easy installation, etc., but the heat insulation performance is poor; sunshine plate has better light transmission and heat insulation performance, but the strength is relatively low; membrane structure has the advantages of beautiful modeling, light weight, large span, etc., but the cost is high. When choosing roofing materials, comprehensive consideration should be made according to the actual situation.

2.Frame material

1.The frame material of the canopy usually adopts steel structure or aluminum alloy structure. The steel structure has the advantages of high strength and good stability, but it is heavy and needs anticorrosion treatment; the aluminum alloy structure has the advantages of light weight and corrosion resistance, but the cost is higher.

2.When choosing the frame material, the strength, stability, corrosion resistance and cost of the material should be taken into account to ensure the safety and reliability of the canopy.

Ⅲ Lighting design

1.Illumination requirements

1.The lighting under the gas station canopy should meet certain illumination requirements, so that staff and customers can clearly see the gas pumps, vehicles and the surrounding environment. According to the relevant standards, the illuminance under the gas station canopy should be not less than 100lx.

2.When designing the lighting system, it is necessary to determine the reasonable number and arrangement of lamps and lanterns according to the area, height and function of the canopy to ensure uniform illumination.

2.Lamp selection

1.Gas station canopy under the lamps should be selected with waterproof, dustproof, explosion-proof performance of the special lamps. Commonly used lamps are explosion-proof fluorescent lamps, explosion-proof metal halide lamps and so on.

2.When choosing lamps, take into account the power of the lamps, light efficiency, life and reliability and other factors to ensure the stable operation of the lighting system.

Ⅳ Safety design

1.Lightning protection measures

1.Gas station canopy belongs to the towering buildings, vulnerable to lightning strikes. Therefore, effective lightning protection measures should be taken in the design to ensure the safety of the canopy and personnel.

2.Lightning protection can be realized by setting lightning rods, lightning straps, grounding devices and other means. At the same time, the lightning protection facilities should be tested and maintained regularly to ensure their effectiveness.

2.Fire fighting facilities

1.Necessary fire-fighting facilities, such as fire extinguishers and fire hydrants, should be set up under the gas station canopy. The arrangement of fire fighting facilities should be reasonable and easy to use and maintain.

2.When designing the fire fighting facilities, the fire hazards and fire fighting requirements of the gas station should be taken into account to ensure that the fire can be extinguished in a timely and effective manner in the event of a fire.

V.Aesthetic design

1.Modeling design

1.The modeling of the gas station canopy should be simple and generous, beautiful and practical. It can be personalized according to the geographical location of the gas station, the surrounding environment and corporate culture and other factors.

2.The shape of the canopy can be in the form of arch, flat roof, slant, etc. It can also be combined with new materials such as membrane structure to create a unique visual effect.

1.Color matching

1.The color of the gas station canopy should be coordinated with the overall style of the gas station, while taking into account the eye-catching and recognizable color. Generally speaking, the colors of gas station canopies are mainly white, blue, red, etc. These colors have a high degree of recognition and warning effect.

2.When choosing colors, pay attention to color matching and coordination to avoid overly fancy or harsh effects.

In short, the design of gas station canopy is a comprehensive project that needs to take into account a number of factors such as structure, material, lighting, safety and aesthetics. In the design process, we should fully combine the actual situation, follow the relevant standards and norms, to ensure that the canopy is safe, reliable, practical and beautiful.
