THE CHALLENGE
Manufacture and supply of bespoke roofs for airport traffic control tower.
TRICEL SOLUTION
Custom Mouldings
We were able to achieve the curved design of the airport roof using GRP, a material that also proved the most durable option, considering some of the extreme climatic conditions to which the tower would be subjected. The advantages of using a composite material over more traditional materials are listed below along with in-house services:
- Complex shapes may be achieved more easily
- The finished product is light for handling and transporting
- The materials offer long-term durability with virtually no maintenance
- High strength can be obtained using various composite materials
- High-quality finishes can be obtained
- Resins can be pigmented to produce most colours in the BS5252 and RAL colour ranges
- Economic tooling cost
- Fire resistant resins offer Class 2
- Site surveys and full site installation is available
- Fully detailed CAD drawings provided
- Special resins may be employed where there is contact with aggressive environments
- Fixtures and fittings may be installed prior to delivery
- All supplied within the scope of our BS EN ISO 9001:2008
THE FINAL RESULT
By embracing the challenge of manufacturing bespoke GRP roof sections for the airport’s traffic control tower, our team successfully demonstrated its expertise in GRP molding. The company’s ability to transform complex designs into tangible products using composite solutions opened up new possibilities that surpassed the limitations of traditional materials. Using GRP ensured that the tower/airport roof was visually appealing and highly durable, capable of withstanding the rigours of extreme climatic conditions. The advantages of GRP over conventional materials allowed us to deliver outstanding results, showcasing our commitment to quality, innovation, and professionalism in every aspect of the project.
