key features

Composites elements: composites canopies.

Why composites: composites overcame infrastructure and environmental challenges better than traditional materials while allowing greater design freedom without requiring traffic closures.
Weight
Self-weight deflection issues, typically associated with steel, were avoided.
Cost
Seamless assembly reduced installation time. Cost-effective tooling and lighter support pillars minimised expenses.
Strength
Composites met the required strength requirements at a significantly lighter weight than traditional materials.
Durability
The structure was designed to withstand wind, snow, thermal stresses, and vehicle impacts.
Maintenance
No maintenace versus stainless steel.
LCA/Environmental Impact
The lightweight design simplified transport and installation, avoiding road closures. Such efficiencies are only achievable with composites.
Other
The canopies achieved a metallic look through durable metal spray coatings.
