PROJECT PROFILE
BELFAST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
CURTAIN WALLING & ROOFLIGHT The Belfast International Airport project afforded Innovated Aluminium Technology (iAT) the opportunity to deliver its largest rooflight to date. The standout piece was supplied and installed alongside curtain walling for both the new extension and the duty-free area of the airport. A design-and-build contract, the project required iAT to ensure a robust weathering detail was in place for the rooflight. The 44m roof glazing element is an outstanding feature of the project. Leslie McClements, General Manager, said, “Piperhill Construction was great to work with on this contract. Their knowledge and experience with projects of this magnitude make it easier for subcontractors such as iAT to provide a quality service.” An architectural glazing company based in Eglinton, iAT offers a wide range of aluminium products ranging from curtain walling, doors and windows to fire-rated products and glass balustrading.
LANDSCAPE EDGING
A new pavement layout at Belfast International Airport has been designed to guide passengers intuitively along key routes, enhancing wayfinding and improving the user experience. To achieve the layout, Greenleaf Ireland supplied rigid AluExcel aluminium edge restraints to provide a subtle band along the centre of the chevron pattern paving. Alwyn White, Sales, said, “Aluminium is widely used in the aircraft industry due to its strength-to-weight ratio benefits and the advantages of corrosion resistance in harsh environments, so the inclusion of this edging in the entrance to the airport is a nice tribute to this versatile material. “We’re pleased to have worked with Piperhill Construction on this project, assisting in the selection of the suitable depth of product and advising on the fixing methods.” Greenleaf Ireland supplies a wide range of specialist landscape products facilitating high-quality landscape design and construction. Based in Maydown, its range of landscape edge restraints, planter systems and
urban tree pit products allows clients to design ahead to establish the future urban landscape.
