Location address: Wang Ning China
Fabric Type : PTFE
Market Sector: Fishing Port Terminal
Project Size: 3500 sqm
Completion Date: 2024
This project involves the design and installation of a PTFE tensile membrane structure for a key fishing port terminal in Wang Ning, China. Located near the open sea, the terminal supports over 40,000 active fishing vessels operating within a national maritime area of 1.5 million square kilometers. The location is exposed to high wind loads, typhoons, and salt-laden humidity, demanding exceptional structural durability and pressure resistance.
The structure utilizes a high-performance PTFE-coated fiberglass membrane integrated with a steel tensile system, forming a lightweight, weather-resilient shelter for port logistics, docking, and maintenance operations.
Key Features of the PTFE Membrane System:
- ✔️ High Tensile Strength: Withstands strong wind loads and maintains membrane tension stability;
- ✔️ Superior Weather Resistance: Long service life (30+ years) in UV, temperature fluctuations, and corrosive marine air;
- ✔️ Fire-Retardant: Meets international fire safety standards such as ASTM E84 and DIN 4102 B1;
- ✔️ Self-Cleaning Surface: Low surface energy helps wash away dust and salt via rainfall, minimizing maintenance;
- ✔️ High Light Transmission: Delivers soft, diffused natural daylight, reducing daytime energy consumption.
This project demonstrates how tensile membrane architecture using PTFE can meet the functional, environmental, and operational demands of coastal infrastructure. It serves as a scalable solution for modular, sustainable marine engineering in harsh climates.
