Midfield Terminal – Abu Dhabi Airport
The 700,000 m2 terminal building is located between the north and south runways, allowing for more stands and a quicker, smoother experience for passengers. The building’s design includes a unique undulating roof that is expected to be visible from over 1.5 km away, rising 52 m above aluminum roof cladding set on 84,000 tons of structural steel. The envelope also includes over 200,000 m2 of high performance glass curtain wall. The concrete works measure approximately 640,000 m3, with 130,000 tons of reinforcement and over 1.5 million m2 of formwork required, and placement will peak at 2,000 m3 per day.
