Abu Dhabi International Airport, Midfield Complex is integral to the Abu Dhabi 2030 plan, transforming the desert into the 'Garden of the Gulf' through a design that responds to its natural environment while meeting the needs of the rapidly expanding capital. Kingspan’s KingZip Infiniti Standing Seam System has been used to create the unusual and complex curves that form a centre piece of the roof design.
With mobile forming and curving machines, KingZip can be manufactured on-site, allowing roofs to be constructed using very long sheet lengths and eliminating the need for any endlaps. This significantly increases the speed of construction. The roof at Abu Dhabi Airport covers aprox. 320.000m², so this rapid installation process was extremely advantageous for the project.
