The Royal Terminal at King Fahd International Airport in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia features eight CST Omni*Hub spaceframes. Each is 1,653 square feet in area covering a total of 13,228 square feet. The all-aluminum spaceframe system was selected over many steel spaceframe systems because of its inherent rust resistance. The client wanted a spaceframe system with […]
The layout of the surrounding buildings of Le Rivage Condominium create a wind tunnel effect.
