PCT to supply composite panels to Haramain project
01 April 2012
PREMIER Composite Technologies (PCT) has been awarded a contract to supply composite roof and inner ceiling panels for the Madinah station of Haramain High Speed Railway project in Saudi Arabia.
PCT, a leading global supplier of lightweight composite structures for the architectural market, will supply the contractor Yapi Merkezi–SBG Consortium with the advanced composite roof and interior ceiling panels for the entire surface area of 26,000 sq m, under the contract.
All panels will be built out of advanced composite materials so that they can be easily lifted into place and installed on site.
Yapi Merkezi-SBG Consortium has been granted turnkey construction of both the Makkah and Madinah railway stations for the Haramain project.
Production at PCT will begin in June.
The contract was awarded to PCT after it worked with architects Foster + Partners during the initial design phase to create a prototype roofing panel built out of a composite solution that would simultaneously realise the complex architectural designs, as well as pass all fire and safety regulations.
