Tensile Structure for Airport

Airports tensile structures Tensile structure for airports deliver iconic, high-performance roofs and walkways enabling to transport millions of passenger s in comfort and safety. At Archway Tensile, our long-span systems are designed to provide the best possible aesthetics at a cost-per-sq. ft.

Why Airports Prefer Tensile Structures

Airports demand large free span areas with a smaller number of supports, and tensile membranes work best for this kind of long-span roofing or shading. They provide good natural light, minimize heat gain and are capable of withstanding heavy wind, rain and fluctuations in the temperature.

High strength fabrics (usually 700 GSM and higher) contribute to both longevity and resistance to fire.

Light systems may lessen the weight imposed on the main structure and foundation.

Simplified maintenance, compared with the traditional roofing of large surfaces.

Key Airport Applications

Tensile structures, such as moulded necking, can also be employed in various zones of an airport: from reception to boarding.

Grand terminal entrance canopies that put a signature stamp on the airport façade.

Shelters over drop-off and pick-up lanes so passengers and luggage are not exposed to sun, rain, etc.

Covered connectors from parking to terminals to ancillary buildings.

Lounge waiting, food courts and open areas with modern Tensile roofing.

Design, Branding, and Passenger Experience

Airports are brand portals and tensile forms help to establish another appreciation of the corporate identity. Curved sculptural roofs, backlit membranes and colour accents work with airline and airport branding while filling spaces with light and welcome.

Translucent membranes provide diffused natural light, thus minimizing the need for artificial daylighting in daytime.

At night, integrated lighting turns canopies into glowing beacons.

The smooth combination with steel, glass and façade systems benefit in stunning overall architectural solutions.

Efficient Investment Per Sq. Ft.

Relative to heavy RCC or steel roofing for large spans, tensile systems frequently provide superior coverage at an economical cost per sq. ft. over their life cycle. Quicker deployment limits the downtime for airport operations, and allows incremental growth as traffic increases.
