Manchester Airport T1

SAS worked closely with Aedas Architects on this project. Dawn Wadsworth, Associate Director and lead architect on this scheme comments: "Together with Milligan Retail, Aedas designed a metal ceiling tile with a perforated lace work pattern. The design and specification of the tile was crucial to the overall effect. Each 900mm square tile has an identical pattern, so that when laid next to each other they form a free flowing pattern that weaves across the ceiling. This pattern is further enhanced by being backlit with blue lighting. SAS International was able to assist with this unique specification, calculating the weight allowance and parameters required for the product. Taking our design aspiration they worked with the contractor to create a unique product that fully fulfilled our brief."

A strict timeline was adhered to as the busy Manchester terminal was fully occupied and operational throughout the construction period. Work was carried out in phases and in short night-time slots.
