Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station II

The Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station II is Asia’s largest railway station and was designed specifically to serve high-speed bullet trains. Requiring more than 80,000 tons of steel for its construction, the station’s cavernous waiting hall area is more than 10,000 square-meters and has the capacity to handle 10,000 passengers simultaneously. Hongqiao Station was completed on July 1, 2010 and across the station’s labyrinth of structural steel elements, Valspar’s Fluropon coating was called upon as a durable and weather resistance architectural coating option. The acclaimed 70% PVDF coating is revered for its protective properties and its ability to withstand dirt and stains, even within high-traffic places such as the Hongqiao Station.
