CONTRACTS CHEK
LAP KOK AIRPORT
HONG KONG |
|
Chek Lap Kok, the biggest
and busiest airport in China, was built on a man-made island,
10km from Hong Kong.
NSS designed a tied-arch, tracked
aluminium access system for the installation of the soffitt lining,
lighting and other facilities.
Spanning 37 metres, this innovative
system was capable of a 3 tonne distributed work load. Using
a sloping track, it followed the contour of the roof line, climbing
and descending by 12m over the 1.5km long concourse.
BCJ, the main contractor, said
that without the NSS system, the work at the airport could not
have been completed in time for the official opening.
