Terminal of International Airport in Nigeria
Client: Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)
Location: Abuja, Nigeria
Project Type: Steel Truss
Project Overview:
The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja expanded its facilities with a new terminal spanning approximately 56,000 square meters, inaugurated in December 2018. Designed to accommodate up to 15 million passengers annually, this terminal features a state-of-the-art design incorporating extensive steel truss systems to achieve large, unobstructed interior spaces essential for modern airport operations.
Scope of Work:
Our company was responsible for the fabrication and installation of the terminal’s steel truss structures, ensuring the creation of expansive, column-free areas that enhance passenger flow and operational efficiency.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design Collaboration: Worked closely with the project’s architects and structural engineers to develop truss designs that met both aesthetic and functional requirements, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with international standards.
- Fabrication: Utilized advanced manufacturing techniques in our facility to produce high-precision steel truss components, adhering to stringent quality control protocols to ensure durability and performance.
- Installation: Executed the on-site assembly and erection of steel trusses, employing specialized equipment and skilled personnel to achieve precise alignment and secure connections, thereby ensuring the safety and longevity of the structure.
Technical Specifications:
- Structural System: Implementation of steel trusses configured in triangular units to efficiently distribute loads and provide stability over large spans without intermediate supports.
- Design and Fabrication Standards: Adherence to internationally recognized standards for structural steel design and fabrication, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance with industry best practices.
- Welding Procedures: Employment of advanced welding techniques in line with established structural welding codes, ensuring high-quality welds and overall structural integrity.

About Steel Trusses:
Steel trusses are structural frameworks composed of interconnected elements forming triangular units. This geometric configuration efficiently distributes loads, providing strength and stability over large spans without the need for intermediate supports. Commonly utilized in expansive structures like airport terminals, sports arenas, and industrial facilities, steel trusses offer advantages such as material efficiency, adaptability to various designs, and ease of installation.
