Birdair, Inc. to Provide PTFE Structures for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

Tensile Architecture to Modernize Parking Facility

Published: February 15, 2012

Birdair, Inc., the leading specialty contractor of lightweight long-span roofing systems and tensile structures of all sizes throughout the world, has been awarded the design-build contract to provide the tensile fabric structures for the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport parking facility.

Birdair will design, fabricate and install four structures comprised of 60,000 square feet of PTFE, a Teflon®-coated woven fiberglass membrane. These will be located at the exit and entry points of the south and north ends of the parking facility. Birdair previously installed walkway and terminal PTFE canopies at the airport totaling approximately 38,000 square feet in 2004.

“The tensile membrane structures will help create a welcoming atmosphere for travelers and a signature look for the airport,” explains Dave Capezzuto, Director of Business Development for Birdair. “PTFE is a sustainable material with a long lifecycle that is extremely durable and needs minimal maintenance.”

Other members of the project team include architect Aguirre Roden, Dallas, Texas, engineer Jacobs Engineering, Dallas, Texas and GC Byrne Construction Service, Fort Worth, Texas.
