 The third stage of the redevelopment of Farnborough Airport is now complete with the new terminal building equipped with a modern Kalzip aluminium standing seam roof.
Not only a milestone in modern aviation design, the three storey 4000m2 building facility serves a practical function and will serve as the new operational and administrative centre for the airport, whilst also providing meeting facilities for business travellers. Due to the nature of the design, it was important that the roof was as impressive as the elevations that can be viewed at ground level.
For the asymmetrical ?wing-like? roof the terminal building, over 1800m2 of Kalzip 65/400 aluminium has been installed. Using the company?s tapering capabilities, the curves of the radial rooflights and monopitch roof were accentuated to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
As well as being specified across all three of the new buildings - the terminal, the hanger and the control tower - for its flexibility in achieving unity between the contrasting designs of the buildings, Kalzip was also supplied for its durability and weathering properties, which ensured that the roof structures will not diminish over time.
