Contract Win: Curtain Wall for Hefei Xinqiao International Airport Integrated Transportation Hub (Including Supporting Works)
Winsom celebrates another milestone with the successful contract award for the curtain wall of Hefei Xinqiao International Airport's Integrated Transportation Hub. The company will supply custom curved aluminum honeycomb panels for this landmark complex, marking its continued commitment to Anhui's transportation infrastructure following the T2 Terminal project. This venture further demonstrates Winsom's technological leadership in enhancing both architectural aesthetics and functionality for East China's aviation gateway.
Design & Technical Challenges
Inspired by the "Jianghuai Water Rhyme" concept, the hub's design blends polygonal and curved surfaces to create fluid visual dynamics. Its curtain wall presents industry-leading complexities:
Each double-curved panel features unique 3D curvature radii and arc lengths
Ultra-large segmentation surpasses standard material specifications by over 30%
Certain panels exceed current industry fabrication limits
These oversize double-curved components face high risks of edge wrinkling and center depression due to uneven tensile stress distribution during forming.
Engineering Breakthroughs
To overcome the dual challenges of multi-form curvature and oversized panels, Winsom:
Mobilized a dedicated technical team for 3D modeling precision
Conducted iterative trials with machining and QA departments
Optimized material selection and forming processes to minimize production risks
While pushing technical boundaries, the team maintained stringent quality control through full-process supervision and close collaboration with construction partners.
Future Vision
As Phase II construction progresses, Winsom will uphold its philosophy of "Empowering Design through Innovation and Expertise," tackling "impossible" curtain wall challenges for global landmarks while showcasing China's advanced manufacturing capabilities.
