We were first approached by Glasgow Airport Ltd to provide a solution for their international arrival passengers. The large area in which passengers passed through upon exiting the building to get to their transportation was very open and drafty; passengers had no protection against varying weather.

The Airport wanted something modern, striking and functional. We set about various designs and consultations, and the resulting solution was an impressive 275m² bespoke tensile structure complete with lighting and integral guttering. We teamed this with a bespoke Newcastle Seniorwalkway to ensure complete comfort for passengers.

This challenging installation took place whilst the airport was live and active; and we simultaneously worked along side other trades who were also working in this area. This remarkable piazza canopy now complete, provides passengers with a stylish light and airy cover as they leave international arrivals.
