Providing weatherproof protection for major airport
Qatar’s new Hamad International Airport sees 24 million passengers pass through its doors each year, as well as hosting an ever-growing fleet of aircraft, including the latest A380. The ambitious redevelopment of the former Doha International Airport opened in 2014, with elegantly designed buildings that echo the seashore location.
It was essential to provide reliable weatherproof protection, not only on the sail-ship-structured Emiri terminal and the wave-shaped passenger terminal and aircraft maintenance hangar, but also for travellers through a road tunnel that connects the airport to the city.
