Sustainable Airport Facade: CJIA Expansion Project

Project Overview

Project Name: Guyana CJIA Airport Expansion

Location: Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Guyana

Facade System: Exposed Frame Curtain Wall with Aluminum Veneer Cladding

Facade Area: 6,448 square meters

Scope: Design, engineering, fabrication, and installation of curtain wall systems

Sustainable Airport Facade: CJIA Expansion Project

Key Features

1. Integration of Exposed Frame Curtain Wall and Aluminum Veneer Cladding

The structural strength of the exposed frame curtain walls are combined with a sleek, modern design. And they are seamlessly integrated with the aluminum cladding for a polished finish. The addition of aluminum veneer also guaranteed the durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions.

2. Energy-Efficient Design

The advanced glazing and high-performance coatings can improve thermal insulation and reduce solar heat gain.

3. Sustainable Solution

The curtain wall has supported the energy efficiency and environmental responsibility and helped the airport minimize its carbon footprint.

Design & Engineering

SUNFRAME’s engineering team developed a high-performance curtain wall system tailored to the airport’s coastal environment. The design prioritizes:

☞ Weather resistance to withstand tropical conditions

☞ Thermal efficiency for long-term energy savings

☞ Aesthetic integration with the airport’s modern architecture

Manufacturing & Installation

☞ Fabrication: The curtain walls and aluminum veneers were precisely engineered at SUNFRAME’s advanced production facilities. This ensures the top-tier quality and consistency.

☞ Installation: The installation was executed efficiently to meet strict deadlines. Meanwhile. It can maintain the seamless alignment with the building’s structural framework.

Outcome & Impact

☞ On-Time Delivery: SUNFRAME has completed this facade project within the project’s tight schedule and taken an important part in supporting the airport’s expansion plans.

☞ Built to Last: The curtain wall system is durable, even in challenging coastal climates.

☞ Energy-Saving Performance: The design makes the cooling demands less, which has contributed to the airport’s sustainability goals.
