Recently, the UTC Tennis Air Dome, constructed by Yifan Air Dome, officially opened in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. The tennis air dome covers a total area of 6,600 square meters and is a newly built large-scale professional tennis space in the Xuzhou area.

According to information obtained from the project manager, the tennis air dome took less than two months from project confirmation to the start of inflating the membrane at the end of June 2026, and was officially completed and opened for business in early July. The core factor behind this rapid completion is Yifan Air Dome's comprehensive adoption of a modular construction process. The membrane material and related components, forming the main structure of the air-supported structure, underwent a dual-line prefabrication process in the factory before being shipped to the construction site. Simultaneously, basic civil engineering was carried out on-site, followed by installation upon arrival. This modular prefabrication method of "factory prefabrication + on-site installation" significantly shortened the construction period. |
| According to information relayed by the engineering department and on-site inspections, the Yifan Air Dome construction team continues to strictly adhere to standardized construction practices. Mushroom anchoring points are set up around the venue, and the construction team checked their firmness before, during and after construction to ensure that the overall stress-bearing structure complied with the standards. Then the membrane body was inflated, and the whole process was in accordance with standards. |
| The successful Debut of the UTC Tennis Air Dome not only provides local tennis enthusiasts with a high-quality space to unwind, but also effectively revitalizes urban space resources. This once again demonstrates Yifan Air Dome's comprehensive strength and efficient delivery capabilities in the construction of large-scale air-supported structure stadiums. Furthermore, the UTC Tennis Air Dome, as a typical application of inflatable membrane technology in the construction of urban sports facilities, demonstrates the advantages of air supported building in terms of construction efficiency and space utilization. In the future, air-supported structure construction may explore more application scenarios. |
