Spherical structure of Hangzhou International Conference Center

This sphere consists of more than 1000 steel members. At the intersection of Jiefang East Road and Jiangjiang Road, a huge spherical building appears on the central axis of Qianjiang New City. Yesterday morning, the last steel member at the top was carefully hoisted by workers, and the basic appearance of Hangzhou International Conference Center was finally revealed.

Yesterday morning, the reporter walked into the "sphere" and found that it had been divided into several layers. In the future, each floor will be divided into luxury suites. From the fifth floor to the hollow dome, there are sightseeing elevators up and down. If you come out of the suite above the fifth floor, you can see the blue sky and white clouds directly in the corridor. According to the construction party, the International Conference Center is mainly composed of 19-story frame main building, steel truss podium and two-story basement. The height of the whole building is 85 meters, the maximum diameter of the main structure (sphere) is 85 meters, and the total construction area is130,000 square meters. It is the largest spherical steel structure building in China at present, with thousands of steel members, with a total steel consumption of130,000 square meters.

From the ground operation on February 6th to the closure of the dome yesterday, it only took the construction workers about half a year to set up the whole "sphere". "This is the advantage of steel structure building. All components can be produced in the factory without the trouble of pouring concrete, and the construction period is extremely short, "said Yu Shunnian, deputy commander in charge of the project.
