We are extremely proud of our work on this project, the terminal has an
ultra-modern design and looks stunning. We were especially pleased
to be able to provide an innovative solution, including value engineering
to reduce the amount of steel used and create cost savings across the
whole structure.”
This 7000sq m terminal, including passenger and VIP lounges,
customs zones, departure gates, baggage handling, and security
facilities, is at the heart of the airport development and has the
capacity to service over one million passengers per year.
We designed, detailed, and fabricated not only the structural steel but
also the glazing elements of the job including the curtain walling and
doors.
The design was challenging as t he terminal has inclined main
stanchions, truss rafters, and internal mezzanine floors, as well this
we had to design support for two external air bridges.
We also had to consider the acoustic specifications required on the
inside of the terminal, so we provided double skin cladding with an
acoustic reduction, as well as designing an outside canopy.
More than 900 panes of glass were used, made to an extremely high
specification to achieve the requested pane sizes, withstand the
wind-loading, achieve the acoustic requirements that come with any
airport building and lastly but not least, with impressive solar control
to withstand the extreme sunlight and temperatures in the area. The
largest panes weighed over 300kg each.
Along with the aluminium and glass façades, we also provided eight
large glass roof-lights, each of which was 3m wide by 42m in length,
with the same acoustic and solar qualities of the glass façades.
