  • Main Contractor Modulek Ltd
  • System Used Alu-Link-Panel

Project Overview

Earlier this year, a £350 million capital investment was announced to support the redevelopment of AGS Airports, with the majority allocated to Glasgow Airport. This five-year programme marks the most significant investment in the airport’s infrastructure in over a decade. Planned works include the modernisation of the main terminal, the first full refurbishment of gate areas in 30 years, and expanded airside retail, dining, and operational facilities. The programme also includes improvements to airfield infrastructure and a focus on energy efficiency, with completion targeted for 2027.

Twinfix’s Role in Supporting Glasgow Airport’s Infrastructure Vision

As part of this wider redevelopment, Twinfix was appointed to design, manufacture and install three bespoke aluminium canopies to support the airport’s expanding infrastructure and connectivity between buildings.

Project Overview

  • Canopy 1:
    • Free-standing reverse mono-pitch structure
    • 5.5m run length × 2.8m projection
    • Includes 2 louvred side panels
  • Canopy 2:
    • Free-standing reverse mono-pitch structure
    • 18m run length × 2.5m projection
    • Includes 3 louvred side panels
  • Canopy 3:
    • Cantilever mono-pitch structure
    • 2m run length × 1.2m projection

All canopies were powder coated in RAL 7024, with ellipsoid blade louvre panels finished in RAL 7037, complementing the surrounding architecture and delivering a refined, modern appearance.
