Market Sectors / Transportation

For transportation facilities, Birdair tensile structures offer a unique combination of functionality and aesthetic intrigue, providing comfort and convenience to travelers.

These tensioned fabric membrane structures function as weather barriers when installed over walkways, bridges, transit stations and airports, creating an open space unhindered by traditional post supports. As a result, pedestrians experience unencumbered access to all aspects of the transportation venue, resulting in a quicker, more effortless travel experience.

Birdair longspan tensile structures for transportation facilities have been designed to reflect surrounding geography. For example, at Denver International Airport, the airport’s bright white Birdair fabric membrane roof consists of a series of peaks echoing the backdrop of the Colorado Rockies. Likewise, the Rapid Central Station Bus Terminal in Grand Rapids, MI, features a two-tiered fabric membrane that rises and falls alternately from 14 to 45 feet, emulating the swirling rapids of the Grand River.
