The steel structure canopy of the gas station is exposed to the outdoors for a long time, and the ceiling materials need to meet the requirements of good weather resistance, high structural strength and easy cleaning.
For the steel structure ceiling, it is also necessary to meet the requirements of convenient disassembly and standardization of replication.
The steel structure flat roof is the most MATERIAL-SAVING and COST-SAVING in the construction and laying of panels.
Due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, daily protection and maintenance or timely replacement of damage is required.
THE FLAT-TOPPED TYPE HAS AN ADVANTAGE WHICH IS;-VERY CONVENIENT FOR INSTALLATION THAT ONLY NEEDS TO LIST THE PANELS IN SEQUENCE, BUT THE DISASSEMBLY IS MORE CRUCIAL.
The ceiling accumulates dust and this makes it feel older. Therefore, removing the panel in sequence to scrub is necessary after installation.
Why are gas stations roofs flat?
Since the products operated by gas stations are inflammable and explosive materials such as diesel, gasoline, and liquefied petroleum gas, the steel structure ceiling system needs to meet the fire protection requirements.
Fuel Island Canopies
These types of canopies not only protect your personnel and customers but they also protect the environment from storm water run-off.
Canopies under which fuels are dispensed should have a clear, unobstructed height of not less than 13 feet 6 inches (4115 mm) to the lowest projecting element in the vehicle drive-through area.
The canopy can have a maximum height of 15 feet, as measured from the finished grade to the underside of the canopy.
The maximum height for all fueling station buildings should be twenty-five (25′ 0″) feet.
Why do gas stations have covers?
That ‘roof’ is the fire fighting system. When you click the button, a dry powder is jetted down everywhere under that roof. It’s meant to put out the fire when it’s a burning liquid. In this case gasoline or diesel, obviously.
