GLOBAL ROOFING SOLUTIONS
METAL CLADDING CATEGORY WINNER
Kasane Airport, winner in the Global Roong Solutions Metal Cladding
Category
he new terminal building of Kasane
airport caters for the airport's growth
plan and increases its capacity for
international flights. The meandering
floor plan called for a roofing profile
that could be tapered from ridge to eaves,
thereby eliminating the need for unsightly kite
flashings.
The roof design was especially difficult as
every roof sheet used on the curved sections
had to be calculated and measured
individually as to the required width of the
sheet and also to ensure a correct radius for
the curved section. The complex geometry of
this project is what makes it stand out from
other entries in the category.
“With cladding being continuously rolled,
the prole is parallel. This building,
because of its serpentine shape requires
the prole to be fanned. The prole used
for this project is a single span that can be
shaped to meet the requirement of curves”
