Sectors
Whenever a large area has to be covered without columns, space frame systems come into play. Each building type has its own loads, form and expectations; below are the fields we work in most often and what we pay attention to in each.
01Terminals & Airports
In terminal buildings a space frame brings platforms, waiting halls and entrance canopies under a single roof. Wide canopies on tall columns give shelter from the weather without hindering vehicles or passengers.
02Aircraft Hangars
Hangars need both a very large span and a completely open door elevation. Because a double-layer space truss spans in two directions, it can be supported on three sides and leave the door side free.

03Malls & Markets
In atrium and gallery roofs the space frame combines with glass or polycarbonate to flood the interior with daylight. In covered markets it provides a wide, column-free trading floor.
04Stadiums & Grandstands
The key requirement for a grandstand roof is to leave no column in front of the spectators. Cantilevered space truss systems are supported on the structure behind and reach tens of metres forward. Thanks to their low weight they can also be added to existing stands.

05Exhibition & Event Halls
In exhibition, concert, theatre, wedding and meeting halls the space must be divisible and sightlines clear. A space truss covers large halls in one span and offers strong suspension points for stage and lighting equipment.
06Factories & Warehouses
When the production line changes, columns must not be in the way. Space truss systems reduce the number of columns in industrial buildings to a minimum; crane runways, ventilation and fire services pass through the lattice. Tall canopies for dispatch yards are built with the same system.

07Sports Halls
In basketball, volleyball, equestrian and multi-purpose halls nothing may obstruct the playing area. A space frame covers the whole hall in one span as a flat grid, vault or dome, while scoreboards and lighting hang directly from the nodes.
08Swimming Pools
Humidity and chlorine make pools the toughest environment for steel. Here tubes and purlins receive a reinforced surface protection system; unlike open profiles, closed tube sections do not hold water. A barrel vault helps condensation run off to the edges.
09Healthcare & Education
Atrium and courtyard roofs on university campuses, entrance canopies and rooflights at hospitals are solved with space trusses. Bright-finish or painted members can stay exposed as an architectural feature; combined with glass and polycarbonate, the grid fills the interior with daylight.
10Mosques & Cultural Centres
Steel space frame domes are much lighter than concrete domes and need no formwork. The main dome and half-domes can be assembled on the ground and lifted into place, leaving a column-free prayer hall.

11Fuel Stations
On station forecourts a space frame covers a wide pump area with very few columns. Fascia and lighting fix directly to the structure, and the bolted system can be dismantled and relocated.
12Agricultural Buildings
In barns, sheds and stores, space truss and steel truss roofs provide a column-free interior for machinery, good ventilation and quick erection.
