Friends who pay attention to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics should know that the venue where curling is held, its predecessor is the swimming venue "Water Cube" of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Changing a "water cube" to an "ice cube" is not simply freezing water into ice. In order to meet the standards of the Winter Olympic games venues, a series of demanding transformations are required, of which the steel structure plays an indispensable role, and the principle of the steel structure is similar to that of the steel structure swimming pool.
The steel structure swimming pool is composed of removable steel structure brackets, steel fences, and waterproof adhesive film. The transformation of "water cube" into "ice cube" is also built by using steel structure, with convertible steel structure supports and concrete prefabricated panels to form a "skeleton" that supports the ice surface, and finally composed of adhesive film, insulation film, ice pipe rack, etc. The construction principle of the two can be said to be basically the same, but because of the different functions, there are differences in subsequent construction.
Many commercial swimming pools on the market now use steel structure swimming pools. The construction time of steel structure swimming pools generally takes only 30 days to complete. Traditional civil swimming pools also need to find another place to place pool water treatment equipment. The steel structure swimming pool uses the gap of the steel structure to place the pool water treatment equipment directly at the bottom of the pool, reducing the use of materials such as pipes. The advantages of steel swimming pools are that the works are short, reusable, do not damage the site, and adapt to complex environments. Compared with traditional civil swimming pools, steel structure swimming pools have greater economic benefits.
