Unitized façade

The Unsö Extension is an addition to the Gardemoen airport for Non Schengen destinations.
The extension is a 190 meter long four-storey building of 25 000 m2 with a bespoke façade system with vertical elements and glass surfaces that angles in and out respectively to form a wave pattern vertically.

The unitized façade consist of rather large units, approx. 2, 5 x 6 meters and is a LS3000 Composite hybrid composit/alu façade.

30 % of the façade is carried out in a bespoke EW30 fire system that was designed and tested by the Lindner Scandinavia project team. A large challenge of the project was to build in an airport in use.

Scope of work

Design and implementation of a unitized façade system using LS3000 Composite profiles and fire rated IG units. The work was implementation of the architectural design and fulfill sharp U-value demands that generated the hybrid solution. Fire testing at Rise in Trondheim gave verification of the bespoke fire EW 30 fire system using the hybrid solution.
