KLIA

This is an architecturally beautiful roof structure at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Eversendai erected the roof structure of the Main Terminal Building(MTB) and Contact Pier. The main terminal building roof structure is made up of keel trusses connected to the top of the conical concrete columns.

The contact pier is a long building of 900m, connected to the MTB in the middle. The main trusses are connected to the concrete columns by hinge bars. The structure was erected using 150t crawler cranes from the ground. The total job consisted of 9305 tons and erected in 8 months.
KL InternationalAirport is a destination in itself. It is unique because it has within its boundaries all that is needed for business, entertainment and relaxation.

The airport is part and parcel of the Multimedia Super Corridor where placement of high technology industries are being actively pursued. KL InternationalAirport is surrounded by four main cities of Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Seremban and Malacca. The airport is a catchment area and offers opportunities for a hive of business activities.

Every effort has been made to create a homely airport with a serene environment combined with high technologies attractions. Nature and greenery are part of the airport in line with the "airport in the forest and forest in the airport" concept.

The natural environment of the airport is transformed to functions and activities that continue to enhance nature. The abundant forest areas will be preserved and transformed into an environment park containing recreational facilities. For car racing enthusiasts a Formula One Race Track is located near the airport and Formula One Race is scheduled in March every year. The track also caters for an array of other activities throughout the year including motor-cycle and rally racing.

KL InternationalAirport is close to Malaysia's Administration Capital - Putrajaya. Putrajaya, the country's new administrative centre is within 20 minutes away from KLIA and will be a major boost for investment and trade. The PanPacificHotelKuala LumpurInternationalAirport, is available within walking distance from the airport terminal building for other airport users to stay and enjoy all the facilities, close to KLIA.

The airport is built on 10,000 hectares which makes it one of the largest airport sites in the world. KLIA was completed in four and a half years with round-the-clock construction work (making it the fastest airport ever built) undertaken by an international workforce of 25,000 people (largest number of workers for a Malaysian project) at a cost of about US$3.5bn and commenced full commercial operations on June 28, 1998.
