I. Project Background: The Challenge of World-Class Performing Arts Architecture

Project Name: Shanghai Grand Opera House

*Architectural Features: The building resembles a slowly unfolding folding fan; the massive spiral staircase serves both as a passageway connecting to the ground and as the building's structural support.

*Material Standards:

Complex Structure: Numerous irregular curved surfaces require steel with excellent cold bending and welding properties.

*High Aesthetic Requirements: The open-air sections are exposed to the humid climate of the Huangpu River year-round, demanding stringent requirements for the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the stainless steel.

II. Shandong Runhai Steel's Material Supply Solution

To achieve a high degree of unity between "artistic merit" and "functionality" for the Shanghai Grand Opera House, Shandong Runhai Steel provided a customized steel supply solution: high-strength carbon steel medium-thick plates, precision seamless steel pipes, 316L/304 stainless steel plates, galvanized pipes.

III. Technical Depth and Case Value

1. Supporting the "Beauty of Rotation": A Balance of High Hardness and Toughness

2. The "Steel Heart" of Performing Arts Technology: Precision Seamless Steel Pipes

3. "Long-lasting Aesthetics" in a Riverside Environment: 316L Stainless Steel

IV. Cooperation Highlights and Social Significance

1. Contributing to the City's Cultural Icon: Shandong Runhai Steel's participation in the Shanghai Grand Opera House, a representative of China's highest level of cultural architecture, fully demonstrates its leading position in the field of "architectural art materials."

2. Precise Delivery Capability: Facing the complex construction schedule of the opera house, Shandong Runhai Steel solved the storage problem of limited space in the central urban construction site through a "small batch, multiple deliveries, just-in-time (JIT)" delivery model. 3. Low-carbon production philosophy: All steel supplied by the company meets green building environmental standards, contributing to the sustainable development design vision of the Shanghai Grand Opera House.

From every load-bearing steel plate to every decorative pipe, Shandong Runhai Steel's quality shines brightly on the banks of the Huangpu River. The Shanghai Grand Opera House is not only an artistic feast but also a perfect showcase of China's steel manufacturing capabilities. In the future, Shandong Runhai will continue to forge a "steel skeleton" with "craftsmanship," contributing to more architectural projects with artistic soul.
