Project Overview: The "Springs" of Jinan Airport T2
The Jinan Airport Phase II Expansion is a strategic infrastructure landmark. At the heart of the 600,000-square-meter T2 terminal are three iconic ETFE film domes. Inspired by the famous springs of Jinan, these structures represent a perfect harmony between modern tensile architecture and local culture.
Advanced Thermal Performance & Energy Efficiency
Inside the T2 terminal, the three domes utilize a sophisticated 5-layer ETFE cushion system.
Thermal Barrier: By creating multiple air interlayers, this system acts as a high-efficiency insulation barrier, achieving optimal thermal performance.
Energy Saving: While harvesting abundant natural light, the ETFE membrane significantly reduces the building’s overall energy consumption. This light environment regulation directly enhances passenger comfort while meeting the strictest green building standards.
Lightweight, High-Strength Structural Engineering
As a cutting-edge tensile building material, ETFE offers extreme visual transparency combined with an ultra-lightweight profile (only 1% of the weight of glass). This allows for incredible spatial structure performance, reducing the load on the terminal’s main steel frame.
Extreme Durability: With exceptional resistance to weathering, chemical corrosion, and UV radiation, the ETFE film ensures a design life of over 30 years.
Safety First: The material meets the highest safety standards; in the event of fire, it shrinks and melts without producing flaming droplets, ensuring maximum protection for public assembly spaces.
Superior Self-Cleaning & Lifecycle Value
The surface characteristics of the ETFE domes are optimized for long-term performance.
Maintenance-Free Properties: The smooth surface prevents dust adhesion, allowing the domes to maintain a crystal-clear appearance.
Economic Advantage: The maintenance cycle for our ETFE cushions can be extended to 5-8 years. Over the entire lifecycle, maintenance costs are reduced by approximately 40% compared to traditional roofing materials.
Sustainability & Circular Economy
Fully aligned with eco-friendly construction trends, ETFE is a 100% recyclable material. Its high combustion rating and sustainable properties make it the preferred choice for Aviation & Public Infrastructure Projects.
