A major transport facade project in the centre of Glasgow, Glasgow Queen Street Station features Aerolite Monolith supported on the TI-DF2 system. The specification was developed to meet the demanding durability and safety requirements of a busy city-centre rail hub, creating a clean, contemporary external finish while also delivering strong technical performance. The material was also project-specifically bomb blast tested with 100kg of Semtex from approximately 30m away, underlining the level of resilience required for the scheme.
With a project size of 940m², the scheme represents a substantial facade installation within a high-profile station redevelopment. The project team included Balfour Beatty Ltd as main contractor, Curtis Moore Ltd as installation contractor, and BDP as architect, helping bring together the design, engineering and delivery expertise needed for a complex transport environment.
A key feature of the project is the use of an engineered support system and factory-finished panels to support accurate installation, consistent joint lines and coordinated interfaces with glazing and wider station infrastructure. Developed in close collaboration with the wider project team, the facade solution balances robust performance, passenger safety and long-term durability with a sharp architectural finish suited to a prominent public transport setting.
