Transportation and the Metal Revolution

The transportation and mass transit environments are unique in that they require a combination of durability, aesthetics, and technical performance. Metal ceiling solutions are ideally suited for these environments and can comfortably satisfy the demanding project requirements.

There is not a more durable and sustainable solution than metal in mass transit. Metal has a longer product life expectancy than other ceiling materials, allowing the whole life cost of the space to dramatically decrease.

Aesthetically, metal can provide the same breath-taking designs you’d expect. Whether those design includes traditional modular lay in solutions, to more configurable or custom products, the inherent properties of metal ceilings can provide an optimum internal environment.

Tested to provide an NRC of up to 1.0, perforated metal products ensure acoustic demands are satisfied. This provides excellent speech intelligibility by controlling reverberant sound and maximizing the effectiveness of public address and voice alarm systems. The functionality of the ceiling membrane itself is further enhanced by easily and effectively incorporating the wide range of mechanical and electrical services required in such projects. Putting public safety first, our design engineers have a wealth of knowledge relating to bomb-blast requirements, service access and security, wind load, and air-quality requirements.

SAS’s success is built on over fifty years of specialist design, engineering, and fabrication in the transportation and mass transit segment. We’ve been privileged to have worked on some of the most inspiring and exciting projects around the world. From Oman to Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi to the United Kingdom, we believe that through engagement, collaboration and innovation we achieve value for all project stakeholders.
