Case Study

Hamad International Airport

Qatar’s Hamad International Airport, a world-class facility planned to become one of the Middle East’s new aviation hubs and featuring the world’s largest free-span maintenance hangar, is the latest addition to Kingspan Insulated Panels LLC’s growing portfolio of projects in the region.

Constructed using the KingZip SF standing seam roofing system to

the highest safety standards, the hangar is capable of handling up

to 13 wide-body aircraft, including Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s*,

and will function as the central maintenance facility for the

fast-expanding fleet of Qatar Airways, the country’s national carrier.

Underlining the global collaborations that drive mega-developments

in the Middle East, Ghafari Associates (US-based architects),

Bechtel International (Consultants) and a consortium of four leading

contractors including Aktor (Greece), Darwish (Qatar), Chimolai

(Italy) and Cybarco PC (Cyprus), called ADCC, joined hands

for the project.

There were several design and construction considerations in

building the hangar, the key feature being its column-free design

to ensure flexible and easy aircraft parking. The roof structure was

crucial, as it had to ensure total protection in addition to being

thermally efficient, fire-resistant, and weatherproof, even under

extreme conditions during summer months.

“Kingspan Insulated Panels LLC’s capabilities were a perfect fit to our requirements, and together, we have achieved a remarkable milestone in the history of aviation infrastructure development in the region.”Constantinos Demetriades, Project Director, ADCC.

Offering the ultimate in design flexibility, KingZip SF Standing Seam

System is manufactured in aluminium and may also be available

in coated steel, stainless steel, zinc or copper. It can be supplied

smooth, embossed, crimp curved, concave or convex smooth

curved, tapered, wave formed or tapered and smooth curved.

Case Study

Hamad International Airport

The impressive KingZip SF standing seam roof on Qatar’s airport

hangar spans across an impressive area of 98,000m2. It has a

three-coat Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) coating in Metallic Silver

(RAL 9006). KingZip SF sheets were used in a cover width of

400mm, the most popular in its portfolio, which comes in any width

between 240mm and 600mm.

The 400mm cover width offers the best combination between the

structural performance of the roof, good span, and its overall cost

and sustainability, as less aluminium per m2 is used compared to

the 300mm width.

KingZip SF can be manufactured on-site, allowing roofs to be

constructed using very long sheet lengths, eliminating the need for

any end laps and considerably increasing speed of construction.

At Hamad’s hangar, full-length sheets, 121 metres long, run from

ridge to eaves making water penetration practically impossible.

Web-perforated and polyester coated, 110/1000 structural decking

sheets were used to compliment the roof system, supporting the

acoustic and thermal insulation core.

Seamlessly integrated with the KingZip SF roof are the walls,

which were constructed using Kingspan Architectural Wall Panels

(AWP) in Flat profile, with 0.7 mm aluminium on the outer face.

The face panels are coated in a three-coat PVDF paint system in

Cream (RAL1015).

Kingspan Architectural Wall Panels are secret-fix insulated wall

panel systems that offer unprecedented freedom of design and

top-of-the-range performance to architects. The wide range of

profiles allows architects to look beyond traditional insulated panel

designs to create buildings with more inspiring façades within

the same cost parameters. The panels are manufactured with

Kingspan’s unique ECOsafe and FIREsafe PIR insulation core,

that provides excellent performance in terms of sustainability,

thermal efficiency, fire safety and structural integrity.

Pre-engineered single components with single-fix installation, the

AWP panels can be quickly and easily installed, reducing site time

by up to 50%. They can also reduce steelwork requirements and

are environmentally sustainable. The energy-efficient performance

reduces plant and lifetime operating costs, and carbon dioxide

emissions by up to 40%.

The maintenance hangar at Hamad International Airport is now

the benchmark in the region for advanced, safe, and durable

roofing and walling. It underlines the strong partnerships that

Kingspan Insulated Panels LLC has formed in the Middle East,

where ambitious infrastructure development projects are on-going.

ADCC’s Constantinos Demetriades, the project director, said:

“Kingspan Insulated Panels LLC’s capabilities were a perfect fit to

our needs, and together, we have achieved a remarkable milestone

in the history of aviation infrastructure development in the region.”
