Structural efficiency, rigidity, reduced deflections, integration of services, resilience, ease & speed of manufacturing and installation are some of the biggest advantage of 3D Space Frame Structures.
– Due to the 3D nature of space frame system, long and clear spans up to 180 m can be easily achieved in lightweight steel construction, whereas this is extremely difficult in conventional structures. If done with difficulty, they will be heavier by two or three fold compared to space frames.
– Conventional trusses, steel sections used are longer compared to space frame components, so Hot Dip Galvanizing and powder coating on these items are often not practical, hence their corrosion resistance is weak and demands regular maintenance and may lead to premature failures.
