What aspects are related to the service life of landscape membrane structures

The tensioned membrane structure landscape is highly favored by the public due to its simple and elegant characteristics. Long term use inevitably leads to some wear and tear or stains on the membrane components, which further affects their service life! The service life and maintenance requirements of tensioned membrane landscape structures depend on the comprehensive effects of design, materials used, construction level, and external environment.

Therefore, accurate stress analysis should be conducted on the membrane structure during construction, and protective measures should be taken on the structure to prevent the membrane from being cut by sharp objects or subjected to other damages; Special attention should be paid to areas where stress concentration or wear may occur, such as in contact with cables, and detailed inspections should be conducted to eliminate potential hazards. Secondly, when selecting film materials, comprehensive consideration should be given to factors such as ultraviolet radiation, lighting requirements, fire protection requirements, as well as the strength and durability of the structure. Furthermore, builders or other professionals should conduct regular inspections of membrane structures.

This inspection includes checking whether the membrane surface is leaking water, whether it is worn by other components, etc. If any problems are found, they should be repaired in a timely manner. Inspections should be conducted before the rainy season and winter each year to prevent loose waterproof points and blockage of water outlets, gutters, and eaves, and to maintain the smooth drainage system of the roof. Heavy objects are not allowed to be stored on the surface of the membrane material, and items that are prone to fading are not allowed to be stored in the membrane structure building for a long time. Membrane materials are not allowed to come into contact with solvents that are harmful to their chemical and physical properties, in order to avoid damaging their cleaning layer.
