S690QH and S690QLH Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) are particularly suitable for a variety of applications and building types in Hong Kong due to their high strength and versatility. Here are some specific applications and construction types where these materials excel:
Tall Buildings Structural Frame: Used in the construction of skyscrapers where a high strength-to-weight ratio is critical to support large loads and resist lateral forces generated by wind and seismic activity.
Transportation Infrastructure
Metro and train stations: Ideal for the structural framing of metro stations, providing strong support for platforms, awnings and roof structures.
Bridges: Used to construct pedestrian and vehicle bridges, allowing for longer spans and reduced material use.
Commercial and retail space
Shopping Centers: Used for large retail spaces requiring an open plan layout, minimizing the need for internal columns and maximizing usable floor area.
Exhibition Center: A large column-free space suitable for exhibitions and events.
Public Facilities
Civil Architecture: Used in government buildings, libraries and community centers to provide structural support and aesthetic appeal.
Sports Facilities: Ideal for arenas and stadiums that require large open spaces and lightweight structures.
Seismic and wind-resistant structure
Earthquake-resistant design: Its high strength and ductility make it suitable for buildings in earthquake zones, ensuring stability during earthquakes.
Wind-resistant applications: Suitable for designs that need to withstand high wind loads, often found in high-rise buildings and coastal structures.
Sustainable construction Green buildings: Their efficient use of materials contributes to sustainability goals, making them suitable for environmentally friendly projects aiming to achieve LEED or other green certifications.
Architectural Features Aesthetic Structural: Used for exposed structural elements where visual appeal is important, such as modern architectural designs and facades.
S690QH and S690QLH hollow structural profiles are versatile and suitable for a variety of applications in Hong Kong, particularly high-rise buildings, transport infrastructure and public facilities. Their strength, durability and efficiency make them an excellent choice for urban construction needs in densely populated environments.
