Leshan Olympic Center
Location address: Le Shan China
Fabric Type : PTFE
Market Sector: Stadiums Athletic
Function of building : Stadiums
Project Size: 46000 sqm
Completion Date: 2022
Leshan Olympic Center, located in Suji New District, Shizhong District, Leshan City, spans an area of about 339 mu (approximately 226,000 square meters). The project includes “one field and three gymnasiums”: a 30,000-seat main stadium, a 7,000-seat secondary stadium, a 2,000-seat swimming pool, and a comprehensive training hall. Additionally, the center houses industrial supporting buildings, underground garages, equipment rooms, and outdoor sports venues.
Leshan Olympic Center features a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) membrane roof supported by a flexible cable suspension system. The overall design resembles an irregular oval shape. After thorough discussions and planning, the roof was divided into 42 membrane units, each corresponding to a specific construction area. A single, large, and complete PTFE membrane covers each unit. These units are tightly connected, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing appearance while being economically practical.
Key Features of the PTFE Membrane Roof:
Flexible Cable Suspension System: This system provides structural support while allowing the membrane to flex and move with environmental conditions.
Irregular Oval Shape: The unique shape adds to the architectural appeal and functionality of the stadium.
Divided Membrane Units: The roof is sectioned into 42 units, each covered by a single PTFE tensile membrane. This modular approach simplifies construction and maintenance.
Aesthetic and Practical: The tight integration of each membrane unit creates a visually appealing structure that is also cost-effective.
These features make the Leshan Olympic Center’s roof both beautiful and functional, reflecting modern architectural and engineering advancements.
