On August 16, the grand opening ceremony of the Intuit Dome basketball stadium, which can accommodate 18,500 seats, was held. During the construction of this world-class basketball stadium, the high-strength low-alloy niobium-vanadium structural steel A572Gr50 produced by Wugang Company of HBIS Group was used in the manufacture of the lattice shell steel structure.
The high-strength low-alloy niobium-vanadium structural steel A572Gr50 produced by Wugang has high strength, high toughness, good fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in the construction of large structures such as high-rise buildings, large stadiums, convention and exhibition centers, etc.
Wugang thoroughly implements the group's decision-making arrangements, focuses on industry development trends and material applications, deeply connects with the market and customers, continues to work hard on scientific and technological innovation and technological progress, and constantly creates high-tech, high-value-added high-end wide and thick plates to meet customers' personalized requirements. The tubular truss mesh steel structure of the basketball hall undertaken by the customer is the most difficult part of the steel structure used in the entire basketball hall to produce and process. The manufacturer requires that all four edges of the steel plate be subjected to magnetic particle inspection, and no segregation should occur. The internal quality requirements are strict. Wugang's marketing team actively connects with customers in depth. In response to the strict personalized requirements, it collaborates with R&D personnel to tailor the optimal process plan according to customer demand for product performance and obtains customer recognition. In the process of ensuring supply, we take advantage of our technology, strictly control the quality of steel plates, optimize the production process, ensure the product's good weldability and toughness, and achieve early delivery.
The Intuit Dome has a total area of 110,000 square meters and can accommodate 18,500 seats. At the same time, the venue also includes a practice field, a sports medicine clinic, team offices, retail space, and a large outdoor plaza. In June, the International Olympic Committee announced the use plan of some venues for the 2028 Olympics, among which the Intuit Dome stadium will host basketball games.
